“I don’t know if I can legitimately argue that it’s a profound masterpiece on par with the likes of Spirited Away, Millennium Actress, Nobody Knows, or even Hirokazu Kore-eda’s criminally under-seen Air Doll, but none of those films makes me happier than Nobuhiro Yamashita’s Linda Linda Linda. Named after the classic Blue Hearts rock song ‘Linda Linda,’ this euphorically fun movie tells the story of a group of schoolgirls who recruit the new Korean exchange student (Bae Doo-na) to be the lead singer of their band. It’s so rich, so charismatic, and so damn catchy, you’ll be itching to show it to all your friends.”
