Miwa: A Japanese Icon
A legendary entertainer and a pioneer of gay activism, Miwa was born Akihiro Maruyama. As a young singer, Miwa popularized androgyny as a fashion statement, fusing the masculine and the feminine into a signal of a new generation of aesthetics. This evolved into performing as a woman and living off-stage as a man. With glitter, wit, evening gowns, and enchanting storytelling, Miwa looks back over a 50-year career and a fascinating life in music, film, and television.

Very Cool!!!
It's a good bad... and worth a popcorn matinée. While it's easy to lament what could have been...
By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.
Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.
