Love & Pop(Movie, 1998)

Original title: "ラブ&ポップ" (Japanese/JA)
1h 50min | Genre: Drama
Love & PopRating: 3.8/5 (with 1919 votes)
Love & Pop (ラブ&ポップ, Rabu & Poppu) is a 1998 Japanese experimental coming-of-age film directed and co-written by Hideaki Anno, based on the novel Topaz II by Ryū Murakami. It was Anno's first live action feature-length film. The film was shot almost entirely on hand-held digital cameras and contains unorthodox camera work, including many different mounted camera positions, such as on a model train riding on tracks. The film also flips from widescreen to fullscreen, distorts (with effects such as a fisheye lens), confuses, and makes use of overlays stacked in layers to convey the character's emotions. An official English-language DVD was released in 2004 by Kino on Video. ()
