Working with director Ryusuke Hamaguchi was a new experience, the actor says, especially when he rode in the trunk of the car.
Hidetoshi Nishijima doesn’t talk a lot in the Japanese film “Drive My Car” as Yûsuke Kafuku, a polite, thoughtful theater actor dealing with the loss of his wife, Oto, while trying to direct a multilingual production of Chekhov’s “Uncle Vanya.” So Nishijima needed faith that the nuances from Haruki Murakami’s source story to director Ryûsuke Hamaguchi’s script to his own performance would get conveyed.
This was a rigorous process, but in real life they really did enjoy it. And Hamaguchi as a director was more strict than [Kafuku]! A car is a very strange space. It’s not your home, but you can say that it’s a very personal space. We can say this especially for Kafuku. It was where he learned and remembered his lines, and it was representative of his existence, which is the reason he never allowed anyone else to drive it. I’d say the car itself becomes a sort of main character.
