Drive My Car, by Ryûsuke Hamaguchi, to receive the FIPRESCI Grand Prix 2022 for the Best Film of the Year

The vote had the participation of 646 critics from all over the world, who chose this Japanese production from among all films released after 1 July 2021.

The other four finalists were Paul Thomas Anderson’s Licorice Pizza, Jane Campion’s The Power Of The Dog; Triangle Of Sadness; and Joaquim Trier’s The Worst Person in the World.

The FIPRESCI Grand Prix is the latest recognition for Drive My Car, winner of the Academy Award for Best International Feature Film earlier this year.

The FIPRESCI Grand Prix will be presented on September 16 at the opening gala of the 70th edition of San Sebastian Film Festival and Drive My Car will have a special screening during the event.
