Select Japan is excited to bring Shunji Iwai's masterpiece of contemporary Japanese cinema, All About Lily Chou-Chou back to London. Join us on Saturday 30 August where Shunji Iwai himself will be beaming in from Tokyo for an online Q&A following the screening.

For kids around the world, music is often the only salvation when the pain and anxiety of teenage life becomes too much to bear. Yuichi (Hayato Ichihara) is in the 8th grade and he worships Lily Chou-Chou, a Bjork-like chanteuse whose epic music is lush and transcendent. Yuichi only lives for Lily Chou-Chou's big Tokyo concert, where the lies and violence can be washed away by the presence of his goddess and her powerful music. But fate has yet another obstacle in store for Lily's devoted fan.
