Drive My Car (2021)
Drive My Car (2021), directed by Ryusuke Hamaguchi, is a profound Japanese drama based on Haruki Murakami’s short story. The film follows Yusuke Kafuku (Hidetoshi Nishijima), a theater director and actor grappling with grief after the sudden death of his wife. While directing a multilingual production of Uncle Vanya, he forms an unexpected bond with his young, reserved chauffeur, Misaki Watari (Toko Miura). The film delves into themes of loss, communication, and healing, blending art and life through its meditative pacing and introspective storytelling. Its understated performances and rich emotional depth earned it the Academy Award for Best International Feature in 2022.
