Two- and three-part Japanese films have racked up superlative box-office numbers in recent years, but most are in the sci-fi/action genres and appeal to both genders, so the producers of “We Were There” are taking a risk, especially in opening the two parts so close together.
Directed by Takahiro Miki, a music video maestro whose first feature was the 2010 romantic drama “Solanin,” the first part will be released on March 17, the second on April 21. But a media consortium led by Asmik Ace has gone a bold step farther in making “Bokura ga Ita (We Were There),” a romantic drama based on a megahit manga by Yuki Obata, into a two-part epic clocking in at nearly four hours total.
