Drive My Car

I know why some people (those expecting a new Parasite?) would think it's slow and nothing happens but I was invested in these characters, so it didn't drag for me. Loved it.

This movie awed me with its beautiful cinematography, which is used not only to show pretty imagery, but I feel it was used mostly to give us time to reflect on what was just said by the dialogue and internalize it, sometimes imagery was used to convey a specific feeling throughout the movie, for example through most of the runtime, during driving scenes, we see the street as if we were in the back seat looking through the back window of the car, contemplating the past, but at the end of the movie, for the first time, we see the street from the driver's point of view, as if looking to our future, and this is just something I found in my 1st watch through. With almost 3 hours of run time, I found myself entranced in some parts and wondering when it was going to end in others, it is a slow burn, but I found it amazing how much it made me reflect not only on the characters but on myself as well, if I had to describe it in a phrase it would be: an autoscopic view of our past and our expectations for life
