I fucking love this movie called All About Lily Chou-Chou.

Anyway, the best way to describe this film is...shit, I don't know. It's about a bunch of very sad kids and their weird hero worship of a singer named Lily Chou-Chou (whose music is performed by the incredible Japanese performer Salyu). There's emo. And horrible things. And kids. And beautiful music. And beautiful terrible things. And...it's just incredible.

I've known a lot of people who have watched it once and declared that they'll never watch it again, including Lovely Wife Sara. I encourage you to give it a go. And don't do it in the 17-part version on YouTube. This movie needs to be watched like you watch a movie, without flashing banner ads, and without having to move to the next part 16 times.

Here's the opening to the film:


And here's a video for possibly my favorite song from the movie:
