Youth's Growing Pains

Youth's Growing Pains

5 films

Loneliness and restlessness, the beauty and cruelty of love, the confusion and longing around gender—so much of adolescence grows in secret, tucked away in quiet corners of school life. But when secrets come to light, does that mark the end of youth? And is growing up inevitably a slow unraveling of the self? Giloo presents five poignant coming-of-age films that capture the ache and wonder of adolescence: Edward Yang’s A Brighter Summer Day, Yee Chih-yen’s Blue Gate Crossing, Chen Cheng-Tao’s Eternal Summer, and two Japanese classics by Shunji Iwai—All About Lily Chou-Chou and Hana and Alice. Step into these cinematic portraits of youth, and relive the beautiful, painful process of becoming.
