Xentros Mar 22 2021 9:05 am Really looking forward to this. While "Asako I&II" was inferior to "Happy Hour", it was still a solid movie and has proven vastly the talent of Hamaguchi as a director. Furthermore, the movie is the adaptation of a short story from Haruki Murakami, which I think fits pretty well with the director's philosophy and narrative.
