The atmospheric SPA NIGHT is a portrait of forbidden sexual awakening set in the nocturnal world of spas and karaoke bars in Los Angeles’ Koreatown. David Cho (Joe Seo in a breakthrough performance), a timid 18-year-old living with his financially-struggling immigrant parents, chances upon a secret cruising spot when he takes a job at an all-male spa. There he begins to realize hidden desires that threaten his life as a dutiful son and student. – youtube

 There is a great deal more than just cruise-y scenes in a Los Angeles spa. So if you're looking for a porn movie, this doesn't sound like it.  Instead, it shines a light on a young man battling responsibilities and cultural differences at the same time finding out who he is, inside and out. 

 

For more on this movie, which has been gathering attention for some time, we can turn to an interview with Andrew Ahn from January 2016.

We look forward to seeing SPA NIGHT soon.  I fel that cultural LGBT coming of age movies are very important so we may understand where all of our rainbow citizens come from and what they may have to deal with within their culture. We are also looking forward to 'Moonlight': Black Queer Youth Drama.

What have been some of your more well liked coming of age / cultural movies?
