Markova comfort gay genre

Markova: Comfort Gay is a Filipino biographical coming-of-age drama film based loosely on the life of Walter Dempster Jr., the last surviving Filipino "comfort gay" (male sex slaves for Imperial Japanese Army) from World War II. Gay themes and exploitative melodrama have often been queasy bedfellows in Filipino cinema, but "Markova: Comfort Gay" may rep a new conceptual low. Spurious spin on the real-life plight of native females drafted as "comfort women" by WWII Japanese invaders comprises just one overblown episode in otherwise banal cocktail of a drag queen's life and times. By Dennis Harvey.
