What makes Drive My Car worth watching
Best International Feature Oscar winner.
Drive My Car represents a strong example of japan drama from the 2021 production cycle. Japanese studios have spent the past decade refining the kind of long-form storytelling on display here — careful character work, restrained pacing in the early episodes, and a willingness to let emotional beats land without overstatement.
The cast is led by Nishijima Hidetoshi, Miura Toko, Reika Kirishima. It originally aired on Janus Films, and has since travelled internationally through the streaming partnerships listed above.
