I didn't expect guitar rock to work in this sort of film, but then MBV's music isn't really your typical 'guitar rock'! I've heard the shoegaze genre being referred to by US critics as 'dreampop', which is exactly what this sort of thing sounds like. If only Shields would come out of hiding and record some more stuff... @lastarial: I really liked the style of the movie so will probably track down the Virgin Suicides too.

I was astounded by this film when I went to see it at the cinema. I don't remember what I was expecting, but I had no idea Kevin Shields was involved in the soundtrack until the opening bars of (I think) City Girl. I immediately fell in love with Sofia Coppola. Finishing up with JAMC's Just Like Honey was just pure genius too. The rest of the movie is equally great. It has to be in my top ten - maybe top five. I might go watch it again now... Isn’t it just.
