Ageing theatre director Yusuke is still grieving the loss of his wife two years earlier when he is asked to direct Uncle Vanya at a festival in Hiroshima. To get there, he needs someone to drive him and his red Saab 900 across the country. Misaki, a quiet twentysomething recommended by a friend, takes the wheel.
Winner of the Best Screenplay Award, the FIPRESCI Prize and the Prize of the Ecumenical Jury at the 2021 Cannes Festvial, Drive My Car is adapted from a short story by Haruki Murakami. The beautiful film is an enigmatically melancholy tale of human desire, loneliness and love and the courage to face the past.
Filmography: Wheel of Fortune and Fantasy (2021), Asako I & II (2018), Happy Hour (2015).
Ryusuke Hamaguchi's previous film, Wheel of Fortune and Fantasy, is screened in the Festival's program as well.
