Movie: All About Lily Chou-Chou

Αway from the political orgasm that this country just got through and as an interfering post, I would like to recommend a movie, from Japan. It is not a plesant one, it is not a DIE HARD movie for 2 pleasant hours.

All About Lily Chou-Chou



It's a movie about the misleading Japanese youth:
A story about the end of innocence, from a carefree life to being bullied to a dead-end road, leading to a predetermined death. The small parts of past events that are interfering to the main story, will test our feelings towards the main characters, enough to prepare us for the final scene.
The ones considered to be closed friends turn against you, when their way of living dramatically shattered. The film, focus on characters and on events that transformed them, from the late preliminary years, to the last high-school days. Their lives goes one without anyone restraining them without any morality. Parents living in another world, grownups who have turned away from the bitter reality. Salvation can be found only in the music of the pop artist Lily Choo-Choo. For both sides.
Beautiful cinematography, great story.
Beautiful, yet so disturbing.

Hope you'll be able to get a copy in your hands.
