Cruel Stories of Youth: The classic series of Iwai Shunji
3 films
"To me, only Lily Chou-Chou is real."
Japanese auteur Shunji Iwai carved out some of the most unforgettable depictions of the pain and poetry of youth. His films delve not only into school days and adolescence, but also bullying, loss, and the end-of-century malaise. He portrays girls in corrupted cities, women with voices that heal, and parables of a world teetering on the edge.
He launched the careers of singers Salyu and Chara, and captured Aoi Yuu in her most ethereal dance. With his singular visual style and impeccable taste in music, Iwai's works have captivated audiences across Asia for over two decades.
Now streaming exclusively on Giloo: "All About Lily Chou-Chou", "Swallowtail Butterfly", and "Hana and Alice". Revisit the unforgettable world of Shunji Iwai.
