20th Anniversary 4K Restoration!

When their lead singer drops out days before their debut at the annual school concert, a high school band enlists a Korean exchange student with shaky Japanese skills to save the show. Hailed as one of the best Japanese films of the 21st century, this new 4K restoration is a joyful celebration of perseverance, female friendship, and rock and roll.

“An extremely well-written, emotionally complex coming-of-age tale that has a John Hughesian respect for teenage angst.” – San Francisco Chronicle
