If you loved All About Lily Chou-Chou, try Swallowtail Butterfly
Un ponte tra un film che hai già visto e uno che quasi nessuno ha incrociato. Questo è ciò che condividono, e ciò che il secondo fa che il primo non fa.
Cosa condividono
Both films are directed by Shunji Iwai, and they both carry the bittersweet, foreign gem mood tags, and they sit in Crime / Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to All About Lily Chou-Chou, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What Swallowtail Butterfly is
You wash up in a neon sluice called Yentown where the black market hums like a broken jukebox. A runaway foreign girl trades contraband secrets for shelter. Then the city’s corporate overlords mark her as stolen goods. Shunji Iwai observes the glow of cigarette lighters spelling rebellion before the neon ceases.
