Fancy Movie Time #25: Drive My Car (2021)
Added 2025-01-31 07:00:03 +0000 UTCIn this episode of Fancy Movie Time with Brian and A.J., the Fancy Lads grab their cigarettes and smoke out of the sunroof of a red Saab as they cover Ryusuke Hamaguchi's 2021 Chekhov/Murakami mashup: Drive My Car. Does the film's haunting portrayal of grief and its repercussions make it a Fancy Feast? Or does its slow, methodical pace and flat line deliveries make it a Failure to Fancy? One thing's for sure: you can't have two basses in a barbershop quartet.

2025-02-04 18:54:19 +0000 UTCAfter hearing the first bit of the discussion, I was intrigued enough that I decided to watch the movie and just finished it right now. It is like dark, slings, and arrows in a way. As it got darker and darker I kept thinking this is the craziest movie I’ve ever seen that was this chill and silent. But it ends on a weirdly, hopeful note. I think that speech from the end of Vanya helps. I kept thinking how much weirder it would be if I didn’t know Vanya , and also how weird it would be if I were rehearsing a play and one of the actors just randomly got arrested in the middle of it. What a unique movie that I won’t forget for a very long time! Now on to the rest of the podcast discussion because I need to process this! Thanks for the brain fodder
