Sometimes, if I can catch a good movie late at night, I’ll go to bed right after it finishes and find that even my dreams are trapped by its influence. On Tuesday night I watched a film called All About Lily Chou-Chou. Be it the vivid style of filming, the use of music to accentuate emotion or the emphasis on character over plot, whatever it is, it’s an abstract, bitter sweet quality that really helps me escape into the “ether” of imagination. It’s all so new and exciting, and confirms something about me that I’ve always suspected anyway, that, rather than being a fan of just anime, I’m a fan of Japanese cinema full stop. It has been a joy to explore an area of film that, until a few months ago, I’d barely even scratched the surface of. Since then, I’ve been working my way through the recommendations in the comments of that post. It was a great movie, so great, in fact, that it encouraged me to dig deeply into the depths of Japanese cinema. Back in June, I reviewed a Japanese live action film called Linda Linda Linda.
