Ryusuke Hamaguchi’s ‘Drive My Car’ made history yesterday, becoming the first ever Japanese film to score a Best Picture nomination at the Oscars.

To date, South Korea’s ‘Parasite’ is the only non-English language film that has won Best Picture at the Academy Awards.

‘Drive My Car’ is described as the following: “An aging, widowed actor seeks a chauffeur. The actor turns to his go-to mechanic, who ends up recommending a 20-year-old girl. Despite their initial misgivings, a very special relationship develops between the two.”
