ドライブ・マイ・カー (DRIVE MY CAR) (2021)

"What can we do? We must live our lives. Yes, we shall live, Uncle Vanya. We shall live through the long procession of days before us, and through the long evenings; we shall patiently bear the trials that fate imposes on us; we shall work for others without rest, both now and when we are old; and when our last hour comes we shall meet it humbly, and there, beyond the grave, we shall say that we have suffered and wept, that our life was bitter, and God will have pity on us."  -Anton Chekhov. Uncle Vanya Hello everyone! I'm back this month (am I a monthly blogger now?) with a movie I've been looking forward to watching since the beginning of the season: Drive My Car.
