Film critic Roger Ebert once remarked that it’s a bad idea to reference a beloved movie in your film since it can only serve to remind people of superior features they could be watching instead. The same can be said for tremendous works from other mediums of artistic expression. A tedious film flashing a vivid painting on-screen, for example, could inspire one to vacate the auditorium and check out a museum instead. The new Ryusuke Hamaguchi movie Drive My Car, though, is the perfect example of how to interweave classic works of art into your film (in this case, vintage plays) and not only not distract from your story but enhance it.
