In Reply to: For (art) film buffs only: an article about Ryusuke Hamaguchi, widely posted by tinear on December 30, 2021 at 06:48:17:
What does it mean? Well, Drive my Car is a movie about words. Consequently, it is built on conversation. Not as explicitly as My Dinner with Andre, but probably far too much for the average moviegoer. The action, such as it is, is all but nonexistent. Yes, the police show up once.
I found much to chew on. It is no spoiler to say this movie is about stories that are told by people, from Chekhov to the individual stories we carry about events in our lives. So while it is not explicitly exciting during its 3 hour runtime, it has stuck with me.
