Linda Linda Linda (2005)

Three days before their school’s big music festival, panic strikes an all-girl cover band when their lead singer decides to quit. They recruit Son, a Korean exchange student, whose command of the Japanese language isn’t quite as good as she’d like it to be. In a race against time, the quartet try to learn three songs so that their performance at the festival doesn’t fall flat. Linda Linda Linda is a heart-warming film about the power of music and friendship. (2005 · Nobuhiro Yamashita · 114 min) Screening at De Uitkijk.
