SHUNJI IWAI
Plot
Yuichi is an introverted young teenage lad whose sole emotional outlet and escape from the harsher realities of life is his love of music and in particular the iconic pop star Lily Chou Chou. Via her music and the solace of her website Yuichi gradually begins to find himself a voice and a belief in his own worth. "All About Lily Chou Chou" is a stunning piece of cinema, both to see and hear, while the story itself is a thoughtful and perceptive observation of the difficulties that can overwhelm the world of a teenager.
