description Japan Yearbook 2022 featured an article which reflected on the award-winning Japanese film Drive My Car (Doraibu mai-ka), directed by Hamaguchi Ryūsuke. It received the Academy Award for Best International Feature Film. The movie is an authentic and original work, unlike anything being filmed in Japan today. Russian audience is very interested in this particular work, since it seamlessly and unexpectedly combines the work of two completely different writers: A. P. Chekhov and Haruki Murakami. What is curious about this work is that Hamaguchi is known to be a great admirer of director Andrei Tarkovsky and started his creative career with his own remake of Solaris, later receiving many prestigious awards at international film festivals. Among his works are Happy Hour, Asako I & II, Wheel of Fortune and Fantasy, etc. This article presents the analysis of these movies and the main stages of Hamaguchi Ryūsuke’s creative biography.
