All About Lily Chou-Chou

Please see this movie.

The film is technically superior to most; even if the story does not interest you, if you're a fan of well made movies with amazing cinematography, great acting, outstanding music (etc, etc) you should definitely check it out. l haven't read a summary yet that really captures what the film is about. Sure it's about a group of young, troubled kids that listen to Lily Chou-Chou, but there's so incredibly much more that really you just have to experience to get. And l don't mean 'get' as in understand, because you probably won't. The film's only real problem is that it's rather unfocused. Maybe l just didn't understand it, but l've read other reviews with this same problem. There are a lot of kids in it and it's just hard to follow who's who and who's doing what. Plus it tends to jump in time alot, and jump between characters and actions even more...it just doesn't stay with anything very long. However, the movie is just so engaging and interesting, and stunningly beautiful that it doesn't much matter if you don't exactly follow it. You'll get the broad picture and overall effect of it, and that alone is plenty. l'm definitely gonna give it another viewing, to try to understand it a little better, but as it is it's still one of the best of the decade.
