Lolita in Full Bloom Film Series November 19, 2006

Delving into a world where teenage girls command yakuza gangs, travel through time and get trapped in boys' bodies, Lolita in Full Bloom: 1980s Irresistible Heroines features five trailblazing films from the 1980s starring female pop stars known in Japan as "idols." In contrast to the archetypal image of the cutesy, innocent young girl, Japan fell in love with these tantalizing heroines who portrayed sassy, bold and naively sexy adolescents on the brink of womanhood. Revived in Japan today in newly released video, film and TV adaptations, these “idol” films capture the quintessential Lolita in full bloom. All films are in Japanese with English subtitles.
