"Flower とアリス" touches on the emotions of adolescence that everyone has experienced. Director Iwai is a great businessman, and youth is the most in-demand commodity in his hands, more popular than erotica and slaughter. What has passed is always immortal, and he knows how to use various means to package youth beautifully. Iwai's film style is always so delicate and beautiful. The protagonists in his films are often delicate and sensitive, transparent and innocent, and even the most evil people can be touched by his hazy poetic stories.
As the two girls go through an absurd love triangle, they grow more understanding and mature, and their friendship becomes even stronger. The love woven by the girl is doomed to be fruitless from the very beginning. But it is this chaotic feeling that is most real, the closest to the experience of adolescence—short, fragile, and memorable. The protagonist of the play Hua と アリス, the two's pure and beautiful appearance and youthful performance ensure the touching index of the film.
The movie continues the youth theme and aesthetic and refreshing feeling of Iwai's works, but there is a little less resentment and melancholy in "Flower and アリス", and a little more praise for youth and cherishing of friendship, which can be regarded as a small breakthrough
