The Afterglow of Eire / Takarazuka Ole! (1994)

The film is a Takarazuka Revue production, an all-female musical theater troupe. In such productions, female performers routinely portray characters canonically established as male, which aligns with the definition of a gender swap.

The film is a Takarazuka Revue musical set in Ireland, performed by an all-female Japanese cast. Characters who would be canonically Irish (white) are portrayed by Japanese actors, which constitutes a race swap.

The film portrays Irish Catholicism as a respected and integral part of the cultural backdrop, contributing to the setting's authenticity and the characters' sense of identity. It presents the faith with dignity, aligning with the romanticized cultural portrayal typical of Takarazuka productions, without critique or satire.
