What is the Film About?

Drive My Car (2021)

Yusuke Kafuku (Hidetoshi Nishijima) was widowed two years after his wife passed away, and he got a job directing a theater festival in Hiroshima. ‘Drive My Car’ tells the story of Yusuke and his 20-year-old chauffeur, Tako Miura, who reluctantly drives his red Saab at the festival’s request. Meanwhile, she deals with her own grief while trying to help him unravel the mysteries of his wife’s past and the secrets she left behind.

After hitting the festival circuit this year, this film has been acclaimed for its screenplay and sits at an impressive 100% on Rotten Tomatoes after winning the Cannes award for Best Screenplay. You can find out where you can stream the potential Oscar contender, as well as how to get your hands on it.

Drive My Car – When did it Air? And Where to Watch?

In the United States, Drive My Car was released exclusively in theaters on Wednesday, November 24. The UK premiere for the film took place on Friday, November 19, 2021. Therefore, Drive My Car can only be seen in cinemas right now. It will probably become available on streaming services as soon as the theatrical window closes, so we might be able to see it available on services such as Amazon Video and iTunes as early as late December 2021.

Japanese films are unlikely to screen at your local multiplex since this is a Japanese film. You can still see it at your local arthouse, though. This is a story built on Haruki Murakami’s shorter novel of a similar name. It takes place during the widowed life of a child actor who hires a skilled chauffeur to drive him wherever he needs to go, and everywhere.

Despite being initially sceptical, he is partnered with a 20-year-old girl. Despite this, the pair form a bond of friendship after they begin talking. In fact, it has been chosen as Japan’s option for the forthcoming Oscar Award for Best Intl. Feature Film. The film addresses topics as losing, sadness, relations, and more.

How did the People React to the Film?

We see solidarity, courage, strength, and perseverance in this film. It’s a movie about hope, grace, and regeneration of the soul. During the Covid-19 pandemic, the team (especially director Hamaguchi) worked extremely hard to make this movie. Watching this movie will make viewers feel remorse and confidence in our strength.

Final Words

Togetherness, tenacity, strength, resilience, and rebirth of the soul, and hope are all emphasized in this movie. My sincere gratitude goes out to Team Hamaguchi (particularly the director), who worked tirelessly to make this film during the Covid-19 epidemic. Watchers of this movie can find some comfort in our strength and commiseration in its message. Hidetoshi Nishiyama only makes strides towards becoming a better actor as he ages. Also excellent is Takanori Miura’s role.

The only word in the dictionary which can describe Lokesh well is "Curious". He is a man who sits in the corner of a café, sipping his coffee and watch others and write about them having a good time. Addicted to bettering himself each day. An impressive introvert who finds his home in the places he travels. It's either the power of universe or sunsets that sets his soul free. In between, He can be found wrapped in his own bubble, knitting stories even before the sun rises!
