Drive My Car Review
Drive My Car
HBO Max (starting 3/2/22)
Not realizing the movie would be available to stream prior to the Oscars, I went to the theater to see Drive My Car. Without having seen a trailer or knowing anything about the film except for that it’s Japanese and subtitled.
As usual, the subtitles didn’t bother me but I do think this got nominated partly because of its artistic storytelling. It is long, and it is slow. Had I been streaming it at home I can’t guarantee I wouldn’t have picked up the phone once or twice.
Without giving spoilers, it’s a story of a complicated marriage, personal struggle, and learning along the way. An interesting story, but it did not need to be quite so long (it’s based on a short story!).
