PARA
1988, Japanese. Directed by Yuji Nagamori.
Para" means "paranoia", "paradox" and "paradise". The protagonist, "I", has a tendency to take things too seriously, or perhaps he is too pure, but every day is a battle of worry and reckoning. He has an unusual knowledge of SM for a high school student and is even picked up by a beautiful boy... This is a documentary-style film essay of his youth, coloured by various ironies such as "quantity over quality" and "compromise is a virtue".
