Cruel Stories of Youth: The classic series of Iwai Shunji
"To me, only Lily Chou-Chou is real." Japanese auteur Shunji Iwai carved out some of the most unforgettable depictions of the pain and poetry of youth.

He portrays girls in corrupted cities, women with voices that heal, and parables of a world teetering on the edge. He launched the careers of singers Salyu and Chara, and captured Aoi Yuu in her most ethereal dance. With his singular visual style and impeccable taste in music, Iwai's works have captivated audiences across Asia for over two decades.
