Film Movement will release on Blu-ray Shunji Iwai's film All About Lily Chou-Chou (2001), starring Hayato Ichihara, Shûgo Oshinari, Ayumi Ito, Takao Ôsawa, and Yu Aoi. The release will be available for purchase on May 7.
Synopsis: 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.
