SIMILAR PICKS / A PERSONAL CONNECTION

If you loved We Are Little Zombies, try these.

The Taste of Tea poster 01

Movie / 2004 / Comedy / Drama

The Taste of Tea

Why this pick

Its deadpan surrealism, handmade visual playfulness, and affectionate portrait of offbeat youth echo the buoyant melancholy and stylised energy of We Are Little Zombies.

The Warped Forest poster 02

Movie / 2011 / Comedy

The Warped Forest

Why this pick

Its deliberately artificial sets, eccentric humour, and storybook strangeness make it a close visual companion for the colourful, game-like surrealism of We Are Little Zombies.

All About Lily Chou-Chou poster 03

Movie / 2001 / Drama / Crime

All About Lily Chou-Chou

Why this pick

It shares a youth perspective shaped by alienation and music, but trades arcade-bright defiance for a hazier, more intimate digital-age melancholy.

Love & Pop poster 04

Movie / 1998 / Drama

Love & Pop

Why this pick

Its restless camera language, fractured editing, and sharp attention to teenage disconnection offer a rawer counterpart to We Are Little Zombies’ hyperactive audiovisual form.

A Time to Live, a Time to Die poster 05

Movie / 1985 / Drama

A Time to Live, a Time to Die

Why this pick

This anarchic cult musical pairs catchy pop performance with deliberately artificial, comic-book spectacle—an exuberant precursor to We Are Little Zombies’ musicalised grief and DIY colour.
