Drive My Car (2021)

Director - Ryusuke Hamaguchi, Cinematography - Hidetoshi Shinomiya

"But even if you think you know someone well, even if you love that person deeply, you can't completely look into that person's heart. You'll just feel hurt. But if you put in enough effort, you should be able to look into your own heart pretty well. So in the end, what we should be doing is to be true to our hearts and come to terms with it in a capable way. If you really want to look at someone, then your only option is to look at yourself squarely and deeply."

Rookie-Critic's Top 20 Films of 2021: #2 - Drive My Car (dir. Ryusuke Hamaguchi)

While The Worst Person in the World is a film about life and how we all need to make sure we're doing what's best for us, Drive My Car is more about death and loss, and how we all mourn and cope with those events in our own ways. A film about a widower who, 2 years after the death of his wife and through a web of circumstances, ends up needing a chauffeur to drive him to and from his job directing a multi-language stage play in Hiroshima, Drive My Car is a largely quiet film, tending to lean more on the non-verbal communication between its 2 main characters and the bond they form over the course of the movie. It's a film that takes its time, allowing its cast to really get to know each other and slowly revealing to the audience (both in straightforward and more abstract ways) how the 2 leads have more in common than initially thought. How when coping with the loss of someone you care deeply about, regardless of how complicated the nature of the relationship might have been, it's ok for it to take awhile, and you don't have to tackle it all alone. I quoted him in my original review and I'll do it again here, because it truly sums up this beautiful film perfectly, in the words of my little brother, "Everything about this movie is lyrical."

Score: 10/10

Currently available for streaming on HBO Max.

Drive My Car (ドライブ・マイ・カー)

Summary: Two years after the untimely death of his wife, actor-director Yusuke Kafuku (Hidetoshi Nishijima) accepts a residency to direct a multilingual production of Uncle Vanya. Whilst there, he bonds with his chauffeur, Misaki Watari (Toko Miura) and wrestles with his unresolved grief.

Moving drama with a tonne of dramatic irony and misleading premise. Runtime is barely felt, despite too many endings.

Rating: 4.25/5

Drive My Car https://bit.ly/3QKEI6W Ryûsuke Hamaguchi delivered two chunky movies in 2021. The three hour Drive My Car followed hot on the heels of Wheel of Fortune and Fantasy. Both movies are interested in identity and the way humans sometimes make use of lies in order to access truth. It’s a case of the theatre director, his driver, his wife and her lover, with the slightly hangdog Hidetoshi Nishijima playing Yûsuke, the grieving actor-turned-director trying to put on a production of Uncle Vanya with a cast using his celebrated avant-garde methods – different people talking in different languages (including one actor using Korean sign language). It’s a metaphor for the gulf between speech and meaning – language … Read more
