Linda Linda Linda (Japan, 2005)

Linda Linda Linda tells the story of a group of four high school girls who decide to put together a band for Hiiragi-sai, their school cultural festival. Three days before they are to play the festival, the guitarist and singer quit the band. The remaining members, Kei, Kyoko, and Nozomi must figure out what to do or risk cancelling. They decide to perform covers of The Blue Hearts songs, but all agree that they need to find a new member to be the singer. They ask the first girl that walks by - Son, a Korean foreign exchange student.

Linda Linda Linda is a sweet coming-of-age tale that you might think doesn't have much of a plot, but it has a cult following and is recognized as one of the more popular Japanese drama's in recent years. A likeable cast, good direction and enough side stories to keep things interesting makes the film an enjoyable watch.

Genre: Drama/Music
