Last night I watched an awesome movie: Linda Linda Linda. About the half hazard construction of a band for the school festival after a key member of the original group is taken out of action. The new group will be a cover band for The Blue Hearts--a late 80s punk band.
I found the, sometimes very raw, look at highschool life fascinating. The humor is dryer than anything I've ever encountered in famous-for-being-dry British humor and the faulty language interaction between the Korean exchange student and the rest of the group is priceless.
Oh! And the dream sequence! One of those real enough to trick you into thinking the movie had just jumped the shark a bit until the Ramones show up and my husband says--"this has got to be a dream." I initially thought it was moving too slow to take but a little hanging in there paid off in spades of spades.
The Blue Hearts cover band Paran Maum even had a PV for "Linda Linda:"
