BEVERLY HILLS — “Asako I & II” (119 minutes), directed by Ryusuke Hamaguchi (“Happy Hour”), opens on Friday, Aug. 23, at Ahrya Fine Arts, 8556 Wilshire Blvd., Beverly Hills.
In this mysterious and intoxicating pop romance, a young woman, Asako (Erika Karata), meets and falls madly in love with a drifter, Baku (Masahiro Higashide), 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 building a happy life together until traces of Asako’s past start to resurface.
“Enchanting … playful and profound … a truly original riff on the doppelg?nger touchstone that is ‘Vertigo.'” — Dennis Lim, Film Comment
