Macho Caponata
Alternative title: Tsuyogari caponata

Directed by Shoichi Yokoyama

Takeshi and Kazuyoshi reunite after years apart, confronting unresolved emotions and changing dynamics in their once intense relationship set against a coastal Italian backdrop.
Macho Caponata is a small Japanese gay drama that approaches masculinity, desire and emotional uncertainty with an offbeat independent sensibility. Shoichi Yokoyama’s modest production limits its polish, but the film’s willingness to explore male intimacy without conventional romantic gloss gives it character.
