Watched another 2007 film which starred Riko san and featured Atsuko Maeda
あしたの私のつくり方 (How to Become Myself) was directed by the late Jun Ichikawa, and the source material was a story by 30 year old Kaori Mado.
Atsuko Maeda, Riko Narumi, & Director Jun ichikawa
Not just another teen romance film, but instead a very real look at adolescents struggling to find out who they are on the path to adulthood.
Extremely nuanced performance from Narumi, and Maeda first showing a real talent in this film.
Sousuke Takaoka played a literature teacher who encouraged
Narumi’s character to write
Maeda’s character was intently reading a story written by Juri(Narumi)
Maeda did get to use a little of her AKBingo skillz
A real opportunity
Worth a watch!
