I have been a performer off and on for most of my life. My best friend is in a couple bands. Needless to say, we both loved this movie. We caught it at the local Art House movie theatre (roar out to the enormous folks at Portland’s Historic Hollywood Theatre!) .

What’s it about? A Japanese high school girl group has a falling out with their lead singer about an incident that injures one of the other girls. There are harm feelings all around. So the remaining girls choose to swap instruments and draft the local misfit (the stunningly talented super-model-turned actress Du-na Bae) Korean girl to state lead.
Nothing turns out quite like you’d question. There are wonderous exiguous moments all tied together with the tour-de-force-of-nature that is Bae. The smaller characters are well defined, and you win a steady sense of this world.

Captures the feeling of giddiness/stress that is performance better than virutally any movie I’ve seen in years. Do you treasure punk music? Do you adore movies about misfits? Do you savor films about finding your hold station? THEN Bustle and gain this film. A true stunner.
Japanese indie film “Linda Linda Linda” follows the chronicle of four high school girls who need to learn to play the songs of the Blue Hearts, 80s Japanese punk rock band, for the annual school festival. They got only three days to practice, and the vocal happens to be an international student from Korea. But can they master the songs and play them in front of the audiences?
The fable is simple. As two girls recently left the group, three remaining members of the band Kyoko (Aki Maeda, “Battle Royale”), Kei (Yu Kashii) and Nozomi (Shiori Sekine) have to score a vocalist for the unique band. They recruit a timorous Korean exchange student Son (Du-na Bae, “The Host”), who, as it turns out, shows unexpected side of her character as she keeps practicing.
[SLOW-MOVING BUT TOUCHING] First, sustain this in mind before watching “Linda Linda Linda” of which mood is something different from such films as, say, “School of Rock” or “Hard Day’s Night” (both my common films) . The catchy Blue Hearts songs are incredible and the rock concert scenes are plump of energy, but the greatness of director Nobuhiro Yamashita is that he not only succeeded in expressing the youthful energy of high school girls, but also cleverly suggesting that the girls are leaving leisurely their younger days though they themselves are not aware of it.
To fully savor “Linda Linda Linda,” please remember these things. Annual high school festivals (usually called “bunka-sai” in Japanese) are usually held in autumn and the girls are in the third (and last) year of high school. That means this is their final chance to join in the bunka-sai of their school. Son will go relieve to her country and most probably they will not play together again. Yamashita inserts several episodes or images that imply the festival (or the sweet, glad days of youth) is going to be over soon – the images of deserted schoolyard or one of the girl’s ex-boyfriend leaving the town, for instance. Only grown-ups around the girls know this fact (listen carefully the words from the teacher), but the girls themselves do not seem to realize this, or even if they do, they don’t understand the meaning of it … until long after their youth is past.
The film deftly captures the atmosphere of high school festivals in Japan. I can say you the authenticity of each scene of the film because I was once a high school student there. So grand time and efforts are do into “bunka-sai”: classrooms are turned into shops selling noodles, ice cream stand, rock music club or “shy house.” It is precious moment of life, which becomes portion of bitter-sweet memories of youth only after you realize you have left it leisurely forever.
The acting is uniformly enormous, especially the shiny performance from Du-na Bae as Son, who is to be seen in “The Host,” a 2006 mega-hit in South Korea. In fact she might be a bit too primitive to play the role Son (Du-na Bae was about 25 years-old at the time of shooting), but her spontaneous and engrossing performance makes us forget that. The film is also benefited from the authentic site as it was shot in the accurate, now disused building of Maebashi Industrial High School in Maebashi, Gunma Prefecture, which had recently moved to another space.
“Linda Linda Linda” uses a slightly downbeat come in telling the anecdote, avoiding the cliched place devices. It is sometimes slow-moving, but in inspiring slowly, it shows a realistic portrait of high school life in Japan. Wherever you are, you will explore it is an silly and touching film that captures the essence of youth.
