For the magazine's twentieth anniversary this year, a series of screenings has been planned on the double bill principle, with the main focus on a selection of rarely-seen films. Other movies in the program are also important milestones in the development of the critics' dialogue within one of Quebec's most dynamic film magazines.
After his shot at a record deal falls through, Jun transfers to sleepy Nagoya and begins busking songs by his favourite 1970s glam rock band, Exne Kedy. The music catches the eye of fellow fan Ibuki and the pair soon fall in love over their shared musical taste. But as responsibilities mount, they drift apart… until Exne Kedy announces a reunion tour. Daisuke Miyazaki’s Plastic is a colorful, rock-inflected coming-of-age tale.
