2/Duo (BLU-RAY) Pre-Order Deadline October 1/24 Coming to Our Shelves December 2024
Kei a cash-strapped aspiring actor (DRIVE MY CAR'S Hidetoshi Nishijima) and Yu, a junior employee at a high-end clothing store (Eri Yu), are a young couple living a mannered, domestic life. But just beneath the surface of their relationship, a slow dance of high stakes affection and alienation is nearing the breaking point.
An under-seen masterstroke of '90s Japanese cinema, Nobuhiro Suwa's breakout film, 2/DUO deftly conjures the emotional range and improvised precision of Jacques Rivette and Mike Leigh to inhabit a story that incrementally evokes universal sentiment from seemingly quotidian detail.
