'Drive My Car' is the first Japanese film to be nominated for a Best Picture Oscar. Director Ryusuke Hamaguchi says non-English language films being nominated 'really confirms to me that things are changing and that we're part of that change.'
When writer-director Ryusuke Hamaguchi first laid eyes on the red Saab 900 Turbo at the center of his award-winning film"Drive My Car," he knew it was the one. Over thirty years old and in immaculate condition, the car was perfect. It needed to be -- he'd be spending a lot of time inside."It almost feels like the best casting that I've ever done," Hamaguchi recalled in a video interview with CNN.
Kafuku takes up an offer to direct a multilingual stage production of Chekhov's"Uncle Vanya" in Hiroshima, where he meets Misaki Watari , a woman hired to chauffeur him around in his cherished Saab. As Kafuku faces haunting truths of his past, the film delves into love, loss and forgiveness, and explores the ways people communicate with others and themselves.

"I have always felt that it is easy to have a very intimate conversation in a car," the director tells CNN.I understand your rehearsal process is similar to the one we see Kafuku and his cast undertake when they are preparing for the play.
