All About Lily Chou-chou Review

This movie is 140 minutes long. It follows some classmates in junior high. The main character manages a forum for singer Lily chou-chou fans and much of the movie is the messaging that goes on on that forum. The parents and teachers seem very distant from the kids and and the kids go from innocence to being bullied, to being the bullies and finally to fatal or ambilvalent climaxes. It moves very slowly but it ultimately intriguing, sad and horrifying. The background music of Lily chou-chou reminds me of Dido...too much of it makes me depressed because it has such a sad tone. Debussey music is beautiful and fits in well.
I read that Quentin Tarantino has this movie on is favorite movie list. I give this movie 4/5 acorns. Posted by Picasa
