"We must keep on living. It'll be okay. I'm sure we'll be okay."
Drive My Car is a movie about control*. Control over your own abilities, as well as those of others.
*A movie on internal and external languages, signed and unsigned, spoken and unsaid.
I enjoy seeing Asian filmmakers examine grief and loss because their work frequently directly questions the manner in which emotions are expected to be mediated on screen.
Here, the compassion of little, personal acts like offering someone a cigarette or reaching out to hold someone up is especially striking.
The sunroof scene is pure kino🌅
"***Those who survive keep thinking about the dead."
"What can we do? We must live our lives."
