Yusuke Kafuku, a stage actor and director, still unable, after two years, to cope with the loss of his beloved wife, accepts to direct Uncle Vanya at a theater festival in Hiroshima. There he meets Misaki, an introverted young woman, appointed to drive his car. In between rides, secrets from the past and heartfelt confessions will be unveiled.
An absolute deep dive into the human psyche, Ryusuke Hamaguchi's 'Drive My Car' is a slow-burn masterpiece that'll have you pondering its layers long after the credits roll. The cinematography is a feast for the eyes, each frame meticulously composed. It's a blend of personal grief, artistic exploration, and the complexities of human relationships. A bit of a departure from my usual A24 fare, but trust me, this one's worth the journey.
