All About Lily Chou Chou

One of the most extraordinary films I have seen in a long time.

I can't stop thinking about it. It has haunted my mind.

i always meant to see this, for years, but never got around to it,. thanks for reminding me!

I cannot reccomend it enough.

i made this exact same thread after i saw it a few years ago

used the same expression too lol

Entice me...

I recall octave kitten loved this movie quite a bit. Weird that i remember that.

Just watched this one the other night for like the 20th time. It seems to get better with each watch.

Love the cinematography and colouring of this film too. It's such a shame the cinematographer Noboru Shinoda past away several years ago. I don't know what Shunji Iwai will do without him.

Really fuckin good movie.

beautiful mess of a film. been recommending it here for years.

jesus, this movie is intense

so reading roger ebert's review his criticisms completely make sense

but that's why i'm glad i'm not a movie critic

because this movie was really enthralling

1 of my faves ... :embrassed:

Fantastic movie

I thought it was okay, but some parts don't make a lot of sense.

one question:

I really want to see this now.

the girl that died was tsuda, not kuno. you could tell it was her because of her cellphone strappy stuff was also shown in the shot. the way she died also makes sense in the context of wanting to fly but not being able to (scene with her and the kites (the song that plays during that scene is 'tobenai tsubasa', or 'wings that can't fly'). kuno, being a really strong person, just shaved her head after the rape - to make herself look unappealing i suppose.

thanks for the insight

I honestly thought not many people liked this movie, its fucking beautiful makes me feel human watching it

whole thing is on youtube:

also, if you're going to purchase it, don't get the us release. the picture is bad and the sound is atrocious. the japanese release is definitely the best, but there are no subs, so you'll have to be able to speak japanese. there's an all region disc from hong kong that's probably the best bet for americans, then the british disc is actually decent. it's a shame this never got the criterion treatment...

I've been trying to find a decent torrent download but failed.

i've been dithering on this one for a while. but if it really is that amazing, i'm just gonna buy it.

its only £5 on the internet.

I'm just checked the IDM Ratings Log and 'All about Lilly Chou Chou' got 7/10!
