I would like to see more evocative films like this about teenage escapism, with a similar abstract style, preferrably also made in Asia. I love the way this film was shot and editted. Please make some recommendations to me. Thanks.

I was really enjoying reading through this post of films until i got to the end. Half Nelson is such a bad movie, completely devoid of the integrity and darkness of most of the other films people mentioned.
Anyway, I didn't want it to be the last one here.
As for movies like Lily Chou Chou, I think Kiyoshi Kurosawa's(Pulse, Bright Future, plus Tokyo Sonata looks wonderful) and Shinya Tsukamoto's(Vital, Tokyo Fist, Bullet Ballet) films are also really interesting and visceral. Something special going on in Japan man!

Half Nelson
"What is your mother's maiden name?" What's her first name? I just knew her as Ma!

I can only confirm it, "This World Of Ours" is a great movie!

This World of Ours
, also Japanese. I don't think it's been mentioned yet. I also second
The 400 Blows
.

Bright Future by Kiyoshi Kurosawa.
Millenium Actress and Perfect Blue, those are anime films with a similar feeling and sense of alienation. Both directed by Satoshi Kon.
Volcano High by Tae-gyun Kim
Somehow this movie reminded me Stanley Kubrick's A Clockwork Orange
Finally I'm agree with the poster who mentioned Gonzlez Irritu's Babel. But only the japanese segment.

Alejandro Gonzlez Irritu's Babel would be a good suggestion. for me the japanese storyline carried the same atmosphere as lily chou-chou. i watched it on the plane back from japan and it brought some things to light about the youth culture i was leaving behind me. but lily chou-chou is homegrown so it will always come out on top.

A Brighter Summer Day by Edward Yang. An epic about a group of teenagers living in Taiwan Very different in visual style, but similar in other ways. Warning: this is a very long movie.
there will be snacks.

It's not a similar storyline, nor does it have the extreme events. But I found Linda Linda Linda to be quite similar.
But you decide.
