A Good Adaptation?! Murakami’s Drive My Car and Structuralism

We wrap up our series on Bad Adaptations by reviewing Ryusuke Hamaguchi's film Drive My Car, an excellent adaptation of the Murakami story of the same name.  Also we dip our toes in structuralism (and quickly leave the pool).  This is the last episode of Bad Adaptation a series where we read good books turned into bad movies.  You can find our previous episodes on Ballard's High-Rise, and Tartt's The Goldfinch and Faulkner's As I Lay Dying in our archives.  Next week we will begin a new series on contemporary utopias with Toni Morrison's Paradise.
