Wikipedia article
('aka' 'Coming Out' and ) is a 2005 Japanese 'pink film' directed by Osamu Sat. It won the awards for Best Film, Eighth Place and Best New Actress at the Pink Grand Prix ceremony.
Synopsis
Reiko is an Office Lady who feels alienated by the male-centric corporate society, sexual abuse from males during her daily commute, and her disappointing romantic life with her co-worker and fiance, Aki. She meets a woman on a commuter train who introduces her to lesbian society, and she engages in a relationship with a woman she meets at a bar.
Critical response
Jasper Sharp writes that 'Hard Lesbian: Quick and Deep's portrayal of lesbianism is "surprisingly earnest and sensitively-handled". The Weissers write that lesbian-themed 'pink films' have usually been made for heterosexual male audiences interested in seeing "two naked female bodies for the price of one", rather than for the gay and lesbian community.
Shinth Eiga submitted the film to the Tokyo International Lesbian & Gay Film Festival, but despite its sincere depiction of lesbian relationships, its sex scenes were said to have been obviously intended for a heterosexual audience. According to Sharp, organizers of the festival regard most of these films with some notable exceptions by directors Yutaka Ikejima and Yumi Yoshiyuki as exploitation films.
Accolades
The mainstream 'pink film' community named 'Hard Lesbian: Quick and Deep' the Eighth Best Film of the year at the Pink Grand Prix. Lead actress Kyko Natsume was given the Best New Actress award at the ceremony.
