Slight Fever of a 20-Year-Old (Touch of Fever) 

Year: 1993
Country: Japan
Director: Ryosuke Hashiguchi
Starring: Masashi Endo, Reiko Kataoka, Sumiyo Yamada, Yoshihiko Hakamada
Synopsis: A young man works as a call boy at night to pay for his education. And despite having people devoted to him, he seems to be void of all emotion.
Quick review: This film became a surprising hit in Japan despite its gay themes as young women lined up for hours to watch it. Tatsuro is a young man who keeps whatever emotions he may be feeling buried deep inside himself. He's not close to his family, despite attempts by his father to be part of his son's life. He lives by himself in an apartment while he finishes college. To pay for all this, he has taken a job as a hustler, turning tricks. You never know if Tatsuro is gay or straight because to him sex is sex and the partner involved is almost incidental. Shin, another rent boy, has fallen for Tatsuro, which complicates the lives of the two girls in the story, one of whom is in love with Tatsuro and the other who loves Shin. This is a very subtle film that looks at what lies beneathe the surface. The emotions we keep hidden away and are afraid to show to the world. Or the emotions that we can't hide and that are all too clear to anyone who bothers to look.
