Drive My Car (2021) Netflix UK
Drive My Car follows Yusuke Kafuku, a celebrated stage actor and director whose life was upended by the sudden death of his playwright wife two years earlier. When he accepts an invitation to stage Uncle Vanya at a theater festival in Hiroshima, he is paired with Misaki Watari, a quiet young woman assigned to chauffeur him in his beloved red Saab. Long drives and rehearsal tensions draw the two into a cautious companionship, and as secrets and confessions surface—including a troubling link between Yusuke’s past and a charismatic cast member—he must reckon with the mysteries his wife left behind. Adapted from a Haruki Murakami short story and directed by Ryusuke Hamaguchi, the film is a meditative drama about grief, intimacy, and the slow work of finding peace; it won three prizes at the 2021 Cannes Film Festival, including Best Screenplay.
