Released on 11 November in Italy, 12 November in the US and Canada and 25 November in PortugalWith a three-hour running time, Drive My Car may be one of the year"s longest films, but it"s also one of the most acclaimed: Ryusuke Hamaguchi"s meditative drama has a 100% score on Rotten Tomatoes (at time of writing), and it won the best screenplay award when it premiered at the Cannes Film Festival. Adapted from a 40-page Haruki Murakami short story, Drive My Car revolves around an actor-turned director, Yusuke Kafuku (Hidetoshi Nishijima), who is happily married to a screenwriter, despite her numerous infidelities. Two years after his wife"s sudden death, Yusuke accepts a job at a theatre festival in Hiroshima. As he is chauffeured to and from his rented house by a quiet young woman (Toko Miura), he slowly comes to terms with betrayal and bereavement. "Its sprawling three-hour runtime unfolds with the same rhythm, same possibilities, and same hypnotic quality of a cross-country drive," said Sarah Kurchak of The Spool. "It"s a superb piece of filmmaking, every bit as confounding and yet relatable as the human experience."
