There are no current or future screenings planned for this film.

“It’s not straight, gay, queer, bisexual, non-sexual, or porn. LOOKING FOR ANGEL is an anti-heterosexist movie.”
—Akihiro Suzuki

“Recaptures the waywardness of some early New York ‘underground’ films with its mix of sexual uncertainties, memories, regrets, and all-too-fleeting friendships.”
—Tony Rayns

Akihiro Suzuki’s LOOKING FOR AN ANGEL begins with the disappearance of a young gay porn actor and unfolds into a haunting, blue-drenched meditation on grief, lust, and memory across Tokyo and Kochi — evading labels with radical, poetic freedom. New restoration.
