All About Lily Chou-Chou

Streaming video - 2001

For kids around the world, music is often the only salvation when the pain and anxiety of teenage life becomes too much to bear. Yuichi is in the 8th grade and he worships Lily Chou-Chou, a Bjork-like chanteuse whose epic music is lush and transcendent. Yuichi only lives for Lily Chou-Chou's big Tokyo concert, where the lies and violence can be washed away by the presence of his goddess and her powerful music. But fate has yet another obstacle in store for Lily's devoted fan. Winner of the C.I.C.A.E. Award - Special Mention at the **Berlin International Film Festival.** *"A hypnotic cyber hymn and a cruel story of youth culture." - Wesley Morris, **Boston Globe***
