All About Lily Chou-Chou (2001)
Movie
What it's about
The take
In About Lily Chou-Chou, two school teens, Yūichi (Hayato Ichihara) and Shūsuke (Shugo Oshinari), start out as friends who are obsessed with the music of Lily Chou-Chou. But when tragedy strikes, Shūsuke unexpectedly joins a gang and harasses his classmates, including Yūichi and their female friends. It's a dark and challenging film, one that isn't afraid to explore the graphic depths of things like gang violence, sexual abuse, prostitution, and suicide among young people. But if you can sit through it, it's a rewarding watch. It has rough and bitter aftertaste, but you'll remember it for long regardless. The film won awards at the Berlin International Film festivals and various other festivals in Asia.
