Drive my car [videorecording] / directed by Ryusuke Hamaguchi.
Two years after his wife's unexpected death, Yusuke Kafuku arrives in Hiroshima to direct a production of Uncle Vanya for a theater festival and, through relationships with an actor with whom he shares a tangled history and a chauffeur with whom he develops a surprising rapport, finds himself confronting emotional scars. This quietly mesmerizing tale of love, art, grief, and healing is ultimately a cathartic exploration of what it means to go on living when there seems to be no road ahead. Contains Korean sign language.

Follows a middle-aged Japanese director staging Anton Chekhov's Uncle Vanya while struggling with grief over the premature death of his wife. - Criterion Distribution
Actor Yusuke Kafuku (Hidetoshi Nishijima) dearly loved his wife Oto (Reika Kirishima), despite her infidelities-and her abrupt death pushed him to mental collapse. Offered a comeback staging of "Uncle Vanya," his backers insisted on his being chauffeured by damaged young Misaki (Toko Miura)... and the initially dismissive thespian finds someone who can help him process his grief. Winner of the Best International Feature Film Oscar also stars Masaki Okada. 179 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack: Japanese; Subtitles: English; making-od documentary; featurettes; theatrical trailer. In Japanese with English subtitles.
