Introspective and three hours long, Drive My Car by Ryusuke Hamaguchi defies the ordinary storytelling of grief and self-discovery for a widowed actor-director on an extended theatre project in the company with a young driver. It is the silences and reflective dialogues, set against the background of themes of loss and connection that make it beautiful. Unlike a conventional plot, Drive My Car reveals its story with lingering conversations, mundane rides through a car, and unspoken tension between characters.
