Patricia Clarkson and Ben Kingsley are two of the most exciting acting talents around and they have joined forces for new film Learning To Drive.
Learning To Drive
The two actors come together to take on the central role of author Wendy Shields and Darwan Singh Tur, the man who is teaching her to drive, and they feature in this exclusive new poster.
Learning To Drive is based on an article written by Katha Pollitt, which appeared in the New Yorker and sees Isabel Coixet in the director's chair.
Coixet is no stranger to the director's chair, with the likes of Yesterday Never Ends and Elegy under her belt, but this is her first feature since Endless Night last year.
Sarah Kernochan is also on board having adapted Pollitt's article into a screenplay.
Learning To Drive mixes elements of comedy, drama, and romance and sees Clarkson and Kingsley joined on the cast list by Jake Weber, Sarita Choudhury, Grace Grummer, and Avi Nash.
Wendy is a fiery Manhattan book critic whose husband has just left her for another woman; Darwan is a softly-spoken taxi driver from India on the verge of an arranged marriage.
When Wendy hires Darwan to teach her to drive in a bid to reclaim her independence, her unravelling life, and his calm restraint seem like an awkward fit but as he teaches her to take control of the wheel, their unlikely friendship awakens them to the possibility of starting life anew.
Learning To Drive is released 10th June.
