[Available currently in theaters.] When a still-grieving, 47-year-old, widowed Japanese director (Hidetoshi Nishijima), who lost his screenwriter wife (Reika Kirishima) to a cerebral hemorrhage in Narita, Japan, is hired to direct Uncle Vanya at a theater festival in Hiroshima in Ryûsuke Hamaguchi's beautifully photographed, Oscar-nominated, compelling, well-acted, slow-paced, multilayered, 3-hour film based on Haruki Murakami's short story, he is unhappy after he is forced to have a guilt-ridden, mother-taught 23-year-old driver (Tôko Miura) chauffeur him around in his own red Saab, but then he learns to accept her driving talents while working with an eclectic group of actors, including a well-known film and television actor (Masaki Okada), a mute Korean and former dancer (Park Yu-rim), and a Mandarin-speaking actress (Sonia Yuan), to stage Chekhov's famous play.
