    Alternative pelikula from a projector buried in the sand. The first reel of images burns while the second reel starts to take its place. The difference between the images within the reels is that there is none, like the future and past we look to.

    L>A>P>U>T>A. The evil mastermind who disillusions the people of this world emerges unto the foreground. Who challenges and defeats them will be the ones who will lead the younger generation to find their sense of elation, without fear of losing or kicking cars. Projected in all anime(ted) imagination and a handful of emotional maturity.

    Meeting jazz. Food poisoning the brass band. Accidentally killing a boar and getting rewarded for it. Selling a Playstation console for instruments. Everyone in the cast whose character plays their respective instruments learned for real behind the scenes. Hawaii. The brilliant chemistry. Small and giant landing comedic moments. Slacking to swinging. And a boy. Pure joy, just teenagers making themselves and the world better through musical influence. Jazz mouse. The hyperactive energy of Dance With Me may win over me more, but Swing Girls takes it's joyful veins in a slightly more understated route, one that goes into specially unique and rewarding ones.

    Fruit Chan is like the angrier Wong Kar-wai. Psychological love is present but stripped down, and the only thing left is angst. Dreaminess fills the entire film, our characters want to dream, but nihlism eventually takes over and the only reward they get is nothing but shattered hopes and dreams. Features a low-key optimistic version of the cemetary scene from Dangerous Encounters of the First Kind.
