@wanico.bsky.social he is a well-known filmmaker for predominantly Western audiences.

I was recommended to watch hot fuzz.

That is an excellent recommendation. I would also suggest Baby Driver, which features a Subaru Impreza :)

Impreza is not a really my type of cars but it sounds interesting.

I believe it is the WRX or STi. The movie is about a getaway driver. Typically, Western-focused films of this genre would use American muscle (Mustang, Camaro) or perhaps European GT cars (Audi, BMW). But this used a pretty stock-looking Japanese rally car.
