when I first watched the trailer for this, there's something intriguing & mysterious because at some point you'll never know how the story will go.
Asako I & II is about this girl name Asako who lives in Osaka and meets Baku in a photo exhibit. Asako & Baku's first meeting is not your usual, it has literally sparked from fireworks & confidence. Asako & Baku seems to be that couple that is free in love, enjoying together's company but the thing is Baku is not your usual guy, he often missing in an unusual way. One day, Baku went missing & never comes back for 2 years. Asako moves to Tokyo but still has that reminisce feeling of Baku but little did she know, she will meet a man who looks like her first love in Osaka, the man who looks like Baku name Ryohei who works as an employee in a beer company that got transferred from Osaka since that meeting after Baku's disappearance, Asako's feelings from the man who she loved in Osaka lingers to a man who looks like him in Tokyo.
I don't have any expectations while watching this, I'm surprised that I knew most of the cast in here. The color tones for this film somewhat tell how the story will convey. I appreciate the direction & cinematography of the film as it was trying to relate it to the content. The characters especially Asako is not perfect, she tends to be selfish, she tends to be cruel but when she decides to set her heart she will pour it out. Baku is a character that is deviant, you will never know what he's thinking or what he will do next. Ryohei is a warm person, he works hard, he tries to mediate and he's never been selfish.
There are parts that seem non-sensical but I think that provides as the turning point for Asako, if it never happens then she will never know. Ryohei thought he could handle Asako's past but there's a part of him that he's scared & there's a part that he will never trust her ever again but as Ryohei already gave his words Asako who just got awaken by her true feelings seems accepting that fact but still loving him despite the scar that she did to him.
I don't think the pace is slow, to be honest, the film is almost 2 hours but I didn't feel bored, it actually has a lot of different scenes & stories. I appreciate this film, I never knew I would need it.
