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 has been newly remastered under the supervision of Suwa and cinematographer Masaki Tamura.
