He initiated the friendship with motives that weren’t entirely clear even to himself he wants to hear more about his late wife, but he also wants to better understand her reasons for sleeping with Takatsuki, and maybe punish Takatsuki, too.īut to Kafuku’s surprise, over a few months of drinking together, the pair have struck up a companionable and affable relationship without ever revealing to one another what actually happened. Kafuku knows, or is fairly sure he knows, about Takatsuki’s relationship with his wife, and he’s also pretty certain that the other man truly loved his wife and hasn’t recovered from the loss. The other is Takatsuki, the last man with whom Kafuku’s wife had an affair before her diagnosis. One is Kafuku, whose wife died years ago after a short bout with cancer. Near the end of Haruki Murakami’s short story “Drive My Car” - on which the multi-Oscar-nominated film is sort of based - two middle-aged men, both actors, are at a bar.
