Driving Madeleine
Director Christian Carion (Joyeux Noel, Farewell) returns with this affecting drama about a 92-year-old woman who calls a taxi to take her to the retirement home where she will now be living. The taxi’s disillusioned driver agrees to drive through the streets of Paris on a tour of the places that affected her life, where her extraordinary past is revealed.

“A surprisingly subtle, sweet and absorbing drama. whose fractured narrative and melodramatic backstory might not initially appeal to all, but will eventually win you over.” ~James Croot, Stuff
“A crowd-pleaser that boasts, at its core, a pair of phenomenal lead performances.” ~David Nusair, Reel Film Reviews
