Entering UK cinemas on the 10th of June Learning to Drive is riding high on a very positive festival run over the last year and a half.
Written by Sarah Kernochan and directed by Isabel Coixet the film stars Sir Ben Kingsley, Paticia Clarkson and The Newsroom’s Grace Gummer. We’ll have our interview with Patricia Clarkson up on site soon, right now we’re taking time with Sir Ben Kingsley.
Our very own Cassam Looch got to sit down with one of the best British actors of all-time to discuss his new movie.
Wendy (Patrician Clarkson), a self-absorbed New York book critic, is shocked to reality by the sudden end of her marriage. Always dependent on her husband for driving, she must now learn to take the wheel on her own. Her instructor Darwan (Ben Kingsley) is a Sikh Indian who watches with alarm as his pupil falls apart at the seams. He himself is contemplating an arranged marriage with a woman he has never met. As these two lives intersect, both will change in unpredictable ways.
