This is truly a lovely film. Everything is pitch-perfect: writing, directing, acting, cinematography, music. I hope people won't skip it because of its length--nearly three hours. Every minute of this film is worth your time. It so deserves all the kudos it has received.
One of the most boring films I have ever seen and the zenith of artistic self indulgence. The first hour could easily have been edited down to 5 minutes.
@@jetnavigator the problem with assessing art with the level of excitement and boredom is that the message is thrown away. If the photograph of The Tank Man and the painting of Guernica invoke happiness in the viewers' eyes, then it is not the art that has failed, but society. This whole film revolves around depression and lost, it would be insulting if you ask for slapstick action.
@@jetnavigator exactly that’s what I thought and it is also nominated for best picture and best director like wtf and the director of Dune in not even nominated. Oscar wants to represent diversity more than movies itself. Btw I am a Japanese
"one of Murakami’s best short stories" In the past, I've loved everything I've read by Murakami Haruki. I hadn't read anything by him in a while, so I borrowed the book *Men Without Women* from the library this week. I found the story 'Drive My Car' to be trivial, pointless and boring. It looks as if the movie shares little with the story other than the title...There's a chance it might be good.
The best part of the movie is the conversation between Kafuku and Takatsuki which takes place inside the car. Kafuku sees the reflection of her own daughter in Watari. The play rehearsal part was also too good. The movie explores the meaning of love from various angles.
Agreed. that moment is something like you forget the time, holding your breath. as a Japanese, i am happy somehow to hear ppl prasing this movie even tho i have nothing to do with this film haha
The original author, Murakami, said on his radio show, "I didn't feel like I had three hours. I'm very good at it. What impressed me most was the stage training, where they hit the desk every time they finished saying the lines." It was a squeaky sound. It's great that this work is appreciated. He praises it.
Because, it is a film, indeed. And a film isn't a movie. One starts its job on you after the seeing is finished. The other is a disposable contract with a studio that steals your time. Cinema is the art of films. Movies is Hollywood and its copies, including Netflix.. Cinema belongs to filmmakers. Movies to an industrial assembly line. On and on.
I have to admit, being a c900 owner myself, that’s first why I searched for this trailer. Watching and reading the description that the Saab is a character in the film only guarantees that I’ll watch what looks to be a good movie.
That's what caught my eye too. I have a '68 Sonett V4 in the garage, and have had multiple Saabs over the years. Really looking forward to watching this, based on all the positive reviews.
The fact that this movie was immediately distributed by Janus & Criterion during the film festival circuit shows how cinematically emotional and well-done it is.
Just saw this at the Denver Film Festival. While I will say I felt the 3 hour run time, this is one of those films where I didn’t feel it had to be shortened or if the pacing was off; the pacing and momentum was deliberate and intentional, and ultimately the film was just a small beautiful drama of people trying the connect with not just themselves but the world they’re surrounded in. No contrived conflict or forced plot narrative-just people bouncing off each other trying to make sense at the abstract nature at which our world operates in. I hope in the end this film cracks the final top 5 oscars for International Feature. It’s an amazing year for international films.
2021 was truly the 1999 for independent cinema. Not just this, but Memoria, The Worst Person In The World, Petite Maman, Titane, The French Dispatch--there were so many great films, that were brilliant in different ways
I KNOW!!!! AND BEST DIRECTOR AND ADAPTED SCREENPLAY! It’s so amazing and incredible to see it happen. Never thought back in November when I saw it that it would have this trajectory.
I cried several times during movie n right now. The struggle of our life could make us pale or rugged but the message was till the end we have to live on caring about each others heart shared with honesty. I play go board game at the korean park n i miss my days with my gone father in 2016. R i p
Ryusuke Hamaguchi and Hirokazu Koreeda are two of Japan’s best directors working today and the Criterion Collection is recognizing both of them. This makes me incredibly happy.
This is probably the most successful movie based on Haruki Murakami's novel. Even if this work makes many changes to the original. I watched this movie without reading the original. But when I finished watching the movie, I certainly felt that I had touched Haruki Murakami's work. The story moves deeper into the body and mind, not from the surface of a person or event. They travel to pick up a hope from the dark abyss that is out of reach. For what? To stay alive. If you are a fan of Haruki Murakami, I recommend you to watch it without reading the original.
@@majesthijmenii1976 Yes, I'm very interested in the movie, Burning. I haven't seen it yet. For me, the movie version of Norwegian Wood is not a good memory. That's why I thought it was impossible to make Haruki Murakami's novel into a movie. But that was a misunderstanding. Thankfully.
Everything about this movie is brilliant. Writing, directing, music, cinematography, Every sense of this mov is worth to watch. Especially the last sense of the film stuck with me for days after watching, it hits me on so many levels, I think it's one of ones that I will remember for a long time and perhaps will remain in my mind for a while!
Probably the most boring film I've ever seen. Both my wife and I nodded off. I asked her if that film reflects how Japanese people think and she said, "no way". If you're into self induldent artistic wanks then this is right up your alley. But if you're into interesting stories and characters then give it a miss.
Instantly became one of favorite films of all time. Thank you criterion for recognizing a living legends work. All I need is a criterion release of this one right here.
I'm so glad a Japanese was finally nominated for an Oscar.They've made so many great movies for so long.As someone who grew up driving handed down(and new-Saabs)I wonder how rare they are in Japan.
Truly one of the best films of this century, and all-time classic. The emotional punch and depth was something really special, with a perfect pacing, editing and performances.
岡田将生さんの演技がとても良かった。 こんなにスケールの大きな役者さんだったっけ？と正直びっくりした。 彼が世界的に認められることを願います。 I was impressed by the performance of Masaki Okada as Takatsuki. He said in an interview he was finally able to become an actor by appearing in this movie despite his more than 15 years of experience. I think he known for "I give my first love to you" in asia. I hope he will be recognized worldwide.
Hands down the best movie of the year, lucky enough to see it at a festival. It might place very high in the upcoming Sight&Sound poll, a top 250 will be quite something.
Ryusuke Hamaguchi released two goddamn masterpieces in the same year. I haven't had the opportunity to see Drive My Car yet (I think the Oscar buzz will help push for a theatrical or streaming release) but I've seen his previous three films: Happy Hour, Asako I & II, and Wheel of Fortune and Fantasy. Hamaguchi is a modern master and easily one of the best directors I've discovered recently. All of his films are simply exquisite
@soullumi hello.. Im sure you've read the wind up bird chronicle. How was it? I've only read portions of it. I've been meaning to read the whole book but i just cant find the time.
@@xv_2046 i am almost in the end of the book and as far as it can say, there's a lot of surrealism in it, but then again its, magical. If you haven't completed yet, i must say you should.
I recently read the Murakami short that this is based on in his collection "Men Without Women" (2014) at my local library. I recognized elements of the story right away in this trailer which is a promising sign. Very much excited to see how the rest of it plays out on-screen!
I was lucky enough to see this with a Q&A with Ryusuke Hamaguchi after. He said that Murakami liked the adaptation so much he couldn't tell which elements were from his original story and which were from the director.
I consider myself a bit of a "film buff" and this is one of the very best films I have ever seen ! It earns a Rotten Tomatoe score of 98 for a reason. In fact, several reasons ! !
With all those awards and nominations, i still feel this movie is kinda underrated. Not many people talk about this amazing movie. People should watch this masterpiece not just Dune. I'm not saying Dune was bad in fact it's also masterpiece but man this movie should get more recognition.
So I finally watched it. It's one of those rare 3-hour movies that don't feel like 3 hours at all, passes along like a breeze. Incredibly profound and moving. There's literally nothing remotely bad to say about this movie, a masterful work of art.
Loved this movie! Not sure I'd have looked forward to 3 hours had I known in advance, but for both my husband and me, there was no point at which we wanted it to end. It was beautiful. I hadn't read this particular story, but I've read several of Murakami's novels and it felt very much like him. So happy it received a much-deserved nomination.
I've seen about 10 to 15 new movies in the past month or two and this was by far the best. I'd liked Hamaguchi before but he takes a huge step artistically with Drive My Car. Fantastic film!
@@HeyhitmeBAM Fully realized characters that organically develop, gorgeous cinematography, hypnotizing atmosphere and mystery! Has all the makings of a great movie for me. Can't wait to watch it again on streaming! The others weren't all horrible. Red Rocket is another great film from last year but I haven't seen anything as well-crafted or timeless as Drive My Car in a few years.
french me thinks Asia has gone so far beyond the occident when it come to creativity, variety and risk taking when it comes to tv shows and movies creation. BRAVO! The occident just re hash old success and "working formulas". We lack the audacity to make an original project.

I just finished watching this, my favorite part is the long conversation between Kafuku and Takatsuki while Watari was driving. I rarely see that kind of mental gymnastics in a movie... and they were talking about a girl who was a lamprey. And as a bonus, Hidetoshi Nishijima is very pleasing to watch.
But even if you think you know someone well even if you love that person deeply, you can't completely look into that person's heart. You'll just feel hurt. But if you put in enough effort, you should be able to look into your own heart pretty well. So in the end, what we should be doing is to be true to our hearts and come to terms with it in a capable way. If you really want to look at someone, then your only option is to look at yourself squarely and deeply. That's what I think.
@@ladislavzima8382 Replying to a 2 year old comment, but the Hyundai's at the end was because it was in Korea. Nearly all of Korea's car are domestic. Also its culturally seen as only appropriate to drive a black, white, or silver car. It goes down the line of the Hyundai's to contrast how much the bright red Saab stands out.
I saw this trailer at the theater tonight and now I want to see it. I like how they end the trailer with them raising their cigarettes thru the sunroof at 1:46 and even the title font is nice. I always wanted to see Japan, so I think I can sit thru 3 hours of this at the cinema.
This is truly a lovely film. Everything is pitch-perfect: writing, directing, acting, cinematography, music. I hope people won't skip it because of its length--nearly three hours. Every minute of this film is worth your time. It so deserves all the kudos it has received.

the best trailer ever!!! had to replay several times!!!
Oh wow from the trailer alone i like it
I've just heard of this...I'm a fan of Murakami's works and Hidetoshi Nishijima. Excited for this. Can already feel the heavy pathos from this alone.
But even if you think you know someone well even if you love that person deeply, you can't completely look into that person's heart. You'll just feel hurt. But if you put in enough effort, you should be able to look into your own heart pretty well. So in the end, what we should be doing is to be true to our hearts and come to terms with it in a capable way. If you really want to look at someone, then your only option is to look at yourself squarely and deeply.
That's what I think.
it is easily the best film of the year!
not only as international feature, but the best picture in the main category, like Parasite was in 2019.
Drive My Car and Worst Person in the World really tower over all the American films this year
For me Power of the Dog or Dune or Drive My Car will win
Oscar Nomination bought me Here..😃
Saab just won an Oscar 😆 well deserved based on the quality of the cars.. and the movie, of course, wow! 🚗
The movie was an ad for the car. Also I saw a line of Hundays when they were at a market at the end, so maybe a product placement?
@@ladislavzima8382 Saab is been out of the car industry for 11 years there is no ad placement
@@gabrielgomez2483 you just didn't catch the joke. Also even if Saab still produced cars, the one in the movie was old.
Did they bang ?
@@ladislavzima8382 Replying to a 2 year old comment, but the Hyundai's at the end was because it was in Korea. Nearly all of Korea's car are domestic. Also its culturally seen as only appropriate to drive a black, white, or silver car. It goes down the line of the Hyundai's to contrast how much the bright red Saab stands out.
+1 for the red SAAB 900 Turbo … drove one for 22 years, 407,000 miles ❤️👍🏼
Here I am scrolling for like minded posts. 407k is a good goal, I’ve only got 230k on my c900 vert.
I think this will be a must watch!
WOW!
But was it red? 😂
Soundtrack is gorgeous.
It is marvellous, just like moving contemporary Japanese literature to the acreen
Who's here after it's winning Oscar ?
this shouldve won best picture
I saw this trailer at the theater tonight and now I want to see it. I like how they end the trailer with them raising their cigarettes thru the sunroof at 1:46 and even the title font is nice. I always wanted to see Japan, so I think I can sit thru 3 hours of this at the cinema.
I saw it last night and it's fantastic.
SAAB FOREVER
Finally in the Oscars best picture nomination.
I am so happy
Wished a theater near me would release international films
I haven't heard of this movie! Can't wait to see it now!
