Friday, September 27, 2002: 1:55 PM, 5:30 PM & 8:15 PM Saturday, September 28, 2002: 1:55 PM, 5:30 PM & 8:15 PM Sunday, September 29, 2002: 1:55 PM, 5:30 PM & 8:15 PM Monday, September 30, 2002: 5:30 PM & 8:15 PM and other dates/times until Thursday, October 3, 2002 (TBC)

Not a film about the eponymous pop star with the haunting style, but all about the teen boys who worship her and use their ‘Lily-philia’ to escape the painful realities of their young lives—aching loneliness, bullying, betrayal, and unexpected tragedy. The film has vivid, often startling (High Definition video) visual imagery. Lily Chou-Chou offers a striking, unsentimental portrait of schooldays.

‘Lily Chou-Chou is itself an overripe pop song… a uniquely lonely film, and one of the year’s most memorable.’ — Village Voice, New York

For more information about this film, see the Internet Movie Database.
