Academy Award nominee Patricia Clarkson and Academy Award winner Ben Kingsley star in this feel-good comedy about a mismatched pair who help each other overcome life’s road blocks. Wendy is a fiery Manhattan author whose husband has just left her for a younger woman; Darwan is a soft-spoken taxi driver on the verge of an arranged marriage. As Wendy sets out to reclaim her independence, she runs into a barrier: she’s never learned to drive. When Wendy hires Darwan to teach her, her unraveling life and his calm restraint seem like an awkward fit. But as he shows her how to take control of the wheel, and she coaches him on how to impress a woman, their unlikely friendship awakens them to the joy, humor, and love in starting life anew. Inspired by a story published by The New Yorker in 2002 «Patricia Clarkson, Ben Kingsley dazzle in soulful comedy» - BRAD WHEELER, Contributed to The Globe and Mail «…this delightful film is no Sunday drive. It’s a smooth ride.” - Pat Mullen, Cinemablographer «'Learning to Drive' is a smooth ride, fueled by the lead performances» Richard Crouse, Canada AM's film critic “A modest, winning comedy that overtly sneaks in its wisdom about life, worries and what really matters.” - Brad Wheeler ,The Globe and Mail L’actrice nommée aux OscarsMD Patricia Clarkson et l’acteur lauréat d’un OscarMD Ben Kingsley sont en vedette dans cette comédie réconfortante. Wendy est une auteure fougueuse de Manhattan dont le mari vient de la quitter pour une femme plus jeune; Darwan est un chauffeur de taxi à la voix douce qui est sur le point d’être contraint à un mariage arrangé. Alors que Wendy tente de reprendre possession de son indépendance, elle se heurte à un obstacle : elle n’a jamais appris à conduire. Lorsqu’elle embauche Darwan pour qu’il le lui montre, sa vie qui s’écroule et le calme et la retenue de l’instructeur semblent être une combinaison difficile. Mais à mesure qu’il lui montre à prendre le contrôle du volant et qu’elle lui donne des conseils sur la façon d’impressionner une femme, leur amitié improbable les éveille à la joie, à l’humour et à l’amour, les invitent à recommencer une vie nouvelle Inspiré d'un récit publié dans The New Yorker en 2002 «***, (...) les performances de Patricia Clarkson et de Ben Kingsley valent le détour.» - Marc-André Lussier, La Presse «En résumé, ce drame humain est très captivant, mêlant à la fois de l’humour, du drame et surtout des personnages humains et des leçons de vie intéressantes. » - info-culture.biz
