Swing Girls - Directed by Shinobu Yaguchi (who also directed Waterboys)
A story about some defiant young girls who accidentally food-poisoned their school band. They are held accountable to perform for their upcoming baseball game, but the school band recovers and the girls are left with nothing but their new found love for Jazz. Eventually they start their own band, and through the hick-ups and downturns, they perform and win the love from the crowd of the music competition.
Comparing with the last film Waterboys, Swing girls undoubtly has less comedic relief as the prior but it definitely is a much more heartwarming and sentimental piece as I walked out of the cinema smiling and found myself storming to a nearby CD store and Jazz Pub. The main theme of the piece was about how life may seem boring and purposeless, you may find your love (in this case music) and be inspired and its ALL good......
oh i do love jazz...
