Drive My Car (2021)
Movie
Released
Ryūsuke Hamaguchi expands Murakami's story through rehearsal, travel and material from other stories, giving listening a much larger dramatic space. The multilingual theatre work makes uncertainty about another person's interior life visible without pretending to solve it. Choose it for the emotional continuity beneath a substantial expansion, with the three-hour duration and restrained rhythm allowing grief to change gradually.
