Linda Linda Linda
Last weekend we went to see "Linda Linda Linda", a film about 4 high school girls who form a cover band at the last minute for their school's year end festival.
Four friends were first intending to play original songs at the festival, when the guitarist broke her finger.
The three others, not wanting to do nothing, decide to instead play cover songs by 80's rock band The Blue Hearts (mainly "Linda Linda" from which the film inherits its title). When desperately looking for a singer, they end up recruiting the school's exchange Korean girl (Bae Doona, who I had seen before as the Sadako part in "The Ring Virus", the Korean remake of "Ring") who doesn't have many friends and only barely speaks Japanese.
The fun lighthearted film follows them as they do their best to get their sound tight in time for the closing day's rock show, despite some problems, and while also dealing with their other responsibilities at the festival.
The film contains a split-second appearance by Denki Groove's Pierre Taki.
Update (2006/2/22): The DVD is now available in Japan! (Region 2 NTSC, Japanese language, no subtitles)
Order: Amazon (currently 20% off), HMV (currently 20% off when buying 3 DVDs)

Nice! I've seen Bae Doona in Barking Dogs Never Bite -- highly witty film. Interesting to see her here.

I remember when Linda Linda first came out AND now they have a movie about it as if were a classic. Now I really feel old.
