Nomitori Samurai

Here's a film that knows exactly what it is, and seems happy about it. A disgraced samurai is demoted to "cat flea picker," a euphemism for male prostitute, and reluctantly enters the trade. His new boss believes the hero is enacting revenge, which is maybe giving him too much credit.
