I thought the ending of Asako I & II was really affecting, the pleading for redemption, the wavering and the ambiguous ending

to put it bluntly; i think he should go full rivette
Yes, while I was watching Drive my Car I was trying to make the experience more Rivettian, but all the plotty character stuff kept getting in the way, especially in the final third, where Hamaguchi was showing AND telling a bit too too much. I blamed Murakami!
All the Chekov stuff put me in mind of another good but narratively over-worked three hour art movie, Celan's Winter Sleep, even down to similarities in the landscapes.

Thought about Rivette a lot but also how it was a good departure to use that example to do something a bit different with the road trip film, by replacing those long train journeys. The delay-delay of getting to that long road journey where the duo confront what can't be was a long time coming, and was nicely shortened at the end.

Did you answer yourself and continue?
I gave up the question but am still watching, maybe a half hour every day.

All three of those - (Happy Hour, Wheel of Fortune and Fantasy, and Drive My Car) are pretty great, as are Asako I & II and Heaven Is Still Far Away. It's hard to choose between them

saw Evil Does Not Exist last night. feels a lot colder than his other films, but I still really liked it. at times very slow and methodical, and the ending makes you rethink everything that came before.
