Information

Description

The actor and theatre director Yuusuke Kafuku is married to the screenwriter Oto. At first glance, the two lead a happy marriage. On closer inspection, however, this harmony is deceptive. Their daughter died 17 years ago, and their relationship seems to be slowly crumbling because Yuusuke catches his wife having sex with another man. Yuusuke doesn’t let it show, but Oto tells him she wants to discuss something with him that evening. He doesn’t find out what she wants to tell him. However, when he returns home from work, he finds his wife lying on the floor — she has died of a brain haemorrhage. During a performance, Yuusuke suffers a breakdown and can no longer continue.

Two years have now passed, and Yuusuke has still not gotten over the death of his wife. He agrees to direct the play “Uncle Vanya” by Anton Pavlovich Chekhov. Because of his condition, he is advised not to drive but to get a chauffeur. Yuusuke is initially against it, but when the young Misaki Watari turns out to be a good driver, he changes his mind. Misaki is a little reserved at first, but the two soon start talking and slowly begin to open up to each other. So not only does Yuusuke tell of his tragic strokes of fate, but also Misaki, who has already experienced a lot of bad things in her still young life …

Annotation:
Drive My Car” is based on the short story of the same name by author Haruki Murakami.
Der Schauspieler und Theaterregisseur Yuusuke Kafuku ist mit der Drehbuchautorin Oto verheiratet. Auf den ersten Blick führen die beiden eine glückliche Ehe. Bei näherer Betrachtung jedoch ist diese Harmonie trügerisch. Ihre gemeinsame Tochter ist vor 17 Jahren gestorben. Und ihre Beziehung scheint langsam zu bröckeln, denn Yuusuke erwischt seine Frau beim Sex mit einem anderen Mann. Yuusuke lässt sich zwar nichts anmerken, doch Oto teilt ihm mit, dass sie am Abend etwas mit ihm besprechen möchte. Er erfährt jedoch nicht, was sie ihm sagen wollte, denn als er von der Arbeit nach Hause kommt, findet er seine Frau tot am Boden liegend vor – sie ist an einer Hirnblutung gestorben. Bei einer Aufführung erleidet Yuusuke einen Zusammenbruch und kann diese nicht mehr fortsetzen.

Zwei Jahre sind nun ins Land gezogen und Yuusuke hat den Tod seiner Frau noch immer nicht überwunden. Er erklärt sich dazu bereit, beim Theaterstück »Onkel Wanja« von Anton Pawlowitsch Tschechow Regie zu führen. Aufgrund seiner Verfassung wird ihm nahegelegt, nicht selbst mit dem Auto zu fahren, sondern sich einen Chauffeur zu holen. Yuusuke ist zunächst dagegen, aber als sich die junge Misaki Watari als gute Fahrerin herausstellt, kann er umgestimmt werden. Misaki ist anfangs etwas zurückhaltend, doch die beiden kommen schon bald ins Gespräch und beginnen langsam, sich einander zu öffnen. So erzählt nicht nur Yuusuke von seinen tragischen Schicksalsschlägen, sondern auch Misaki, die in ihrem noch jungen Leben schon so einiges Schlimmes erlebt hat …

Anmerkung:
»Drive My Car« basiert auf der gleichnamigen Kurzgeschichte des Schriftstellers Haruki Murakami.
