Linda Linda Linda
Director: Nobuhiro Yamashita
2005 / 114min / 4K DCP
With their last high school concert only days away, bandmates Kei, Kyoko, and Nozomi’s hopes of taking the stage appear to be dashed when their lead singer quits the group, leaving them to hastily recruit a Korean exchange student with a limited grasp of Japanese (Bae Doona) and go into lockdown practice mode. Featuring the music of The Blue Hearts and Base Ball Bear as well as original instrumentals courtesy of Smashing Pumpkins’s James Iha, Yamashita’s newly restored, irresistibly charming, bumptious hangout movie, subject of a healthy cult following in Japan as well as abroad, is less concerned with “coming of age” than with taking shelter, with a few good friends, from the oncoming adult crash.
