Love Letter (1995)





So different in tone from the other Shunji Iwai films I've seen--this one is quiet and lovely, a lot more soft edges.

All About Lily Chou-Chou (2001)





I started watching this thinking there was no way I would sit through the whole thing at once (I was tired and it was split in three convenient files so I thought I'd make it through like one of them) but then I could not stop watching. The music was amazing, both the Lily stuff and the classical; music and image were so perfectly intertwined. Someday I definitely want to write more about this.

Cure (1997)





Mamiya was entrancing, which was...kind of the point! I'll definitely watch more from Kiyoshi Kurosawa.

Fried Dragon Fish (1993)


Silly little movie but god I love Shunji Iwai.
