All About Lily Chou-Chou (Riri Shushu no subete)
Unrated
this film is even a pleasure to watch on mute. i don't recommend doing so though, the music of the film is a character itself, very powerful. oshinari shugo is especially fantastic, incredibly cold, but intriguing and ichihara hayato also performs well, being able to carry moments of silence. shinoda noboru is a very talented dp, this being a standout piece of work (he seems to be an iwai favourite).
