All About Lily Chou-Chou 2001
Mind-blowing. Evocative. Heart-wrenching. Gut-wrenching. A vibe. Lovely. Pleasant. Disgusting. Seething.
If you've ever wanted to take a trip through early 2000's Japan, sending yourself on a whirlwind visually, audibly, and spiritually, look no further than this film.
