A wild deer with a hunter’s bullet in its belly may attack a human, no matter how mild its nature normally. This is one of the droplets of woodland wisdom dispensed by the otherwise taciturn Takumi , the woodcutter, water-gatherer and all-round odd-job-man of Mizubiki village, the setting of “Drive My Car” director’s meditative and moving, yet ultimately unsettling new feature.

Mizubiki is a community of just 6,000 people who live in symbiosis with their rural surroundings and Takumi exemplifies this rustic lifestyle. With intent, forensic interest, Yoshio Kitagawa’s unobtrusive camera observes him from a short distance, as he goes through what seem to be near-daily rituals: chopping firewood, collecting spring water for the local udon restaurant, and forgetting to pick up his little daughter Hana from school.

Two Playmode reps, Takahashi and Mayuzumi come to the village to present the development plans at a kind of town hall. They are politely dismantled, when Takumi describes the effect of the development on the quality of the local spring water, which the udon restaurant owner asserts is the very reason she moved from Tokyo in the first place. Another resident is worried by the potential for unsupervised campfires in their wildfire-prone region.
