Before winning Best International Film at this year's Oscars, director Ryûsuke Hamaguchi was quietly creating films exploring youth, romance, and modern Japan.
One of his best early films, Asako I & II keeps the youth and romance while adding a compelling dash of mystery and even fable to the story. A quiet gem. In Japanese with English subtitles.
2018 -- 119 minutes -- Not Rated -- Drama/Romance
We will watch the film in the auditorium, followed by a brief discussion in the Radmacher Room. All participants must follow the library's pandemic safety guidance.
