Rewatch Value 8.0 Overall, this movie is just.outstanding and impressive. If you’re more of a traditional watcher, who prefers movies with a solid plot and conventional characters, do not press play - but definitely go listen to Debussy, his music is just brilliant. If you’re not scared of this eerie, weird atmosphere of some Japanese movies, try All About Lily Chou Chou, most probably you won’t be disappointed. To sum it all up – this movie is not for everyone. Also, this movie was dangerously close to being draggy, nearly two hours and a half with so little dialogue and so much pain can be really tiring. Why? Sometimes I had the feeling that this mentioned opposition between the beauty of the form and brutality of the characters was too overbearing. The transformation of Hoshino is shocking, but possible and that’s the most depressing thing about this movie.Įven if I think All About Lily Chou Chou is groundbreaking, it’s not a masterpiece for me.

This dissonance is sickening, but also brilliant and makes the film different from anything I’ve seen so far.Īnother thing worth mentioning – chronology of All About Lily Chou Chou.

The substance – full of brutality, mindless violence and helplessness, against the form – breathtaking shots and subtle, soothing music (my discovery of the movie - Debussy’s Arabesque!), makes this movie really disturbing and unforgettable. Never have I seen such a contrast between a form and substance of one movie. Rewatch Value 8.0 Painfully beautiful, chaotically organized - if I had to sum up this movie in the shortest way, that’s what I would say. The film has a discontinuous storyline, starting midway through the story, just after the second term of junior high school begins, then flashes back to the first term and summer vacation, and then skips back to the present. Immersed in the speed of everyday troubles, their lives inevitably climax in a fatal collision between real and virtual identities, a final logging-off from innocence.Īll About Lily Chou-Chou follows two boys, Shunsuke Hoshino and Yuichi Hasumi, from the start of junior high school when they first meet and into second grade. As they negotiate teen badlands- school bullies, parents from another planet, lurid snapshots of sex and death- these everyday rebels without a cause seek sanctuary, even salvation, through pop star savior Lily Chou-Chou, embracing her sad, dreamy songs and sharing their fears and secrets in Lilyholic chat rooms.
