Drive My Car

One of the most acclaimed foreign-language films of 2021 (it was voted the year's best movie by film critics groups in New York, L.A. and Boston) makes its local premiere tonight at the Cleveland Institute of Art Cinematheque. A new three-hour work from the maker of Wheel of Fortune and Fantasy delineates the "developing relationship" between an accomplished Japanese stage director and the young woman who chauffeurs him around Hiroshima while he directs a production of Uncle Vanya. Special admission applies, and tickets cost $12, or $9 for Cinematheque members, CIA and CSU I.D. holders, and those age 25. The film screens again at 3 p.m. on Sunday.
