Film Screening: Asako I & II
November 13 @ 5:00 pm - 7:30 pm
Free
Join us for a screening of the award-winning 2018 film ‘Asako I & II’ by filmmaker Ryûsuke Hamaguchi (Drive my Car) based on the award-winning novel Nete mo Samete mo by Tomoka Shibasaki. Shibasaki will be on site to introduce the film.
A mysterious and intoxicating pop romance, Ryûsuke Hamaguchi’s follow-up to the acclaimed Happy Hour begins with Asako, a young woman who meets and falls madly in love with a drifter, Baku, who one day drifts right out of her life. Two years later, working in Tokyo, Asako sees Baku again — or, rather, a young, solid businessman named Ryohei who bears a striking resemblance to her old flame. They begin to build a happy life together until traces of Asako’s past start to resurface.
