Description

In "Driving Madeleine", a seemingly simple taxi ride evolves into a heartfelt meditation on the lives of the driver and his passenger.


Charles (Dany Boon) is a taxi driver in Paris, and he is having a very bad day. Enter Madeleine (Line Renaud), an immaculately groomed nonagenarian, who informs Charles that the trip today will not be a direct one. She is moving into a nursing home and would like to make some stops along the way, predicting that this might be her last car ride through the city.


Their ride takes them through the momentous locations of her life, and their brief friendship deepens as Madeleine listens to Charles confess his own worries.
