The London Spanish Film Festival has announced this edition long-awaited special feature: filmmaker Isabel Coixet.

LEARNING TO DRIVE
Dir. Isabel Coixet, with Patricia Clarkson, Ben Kingsley, Grace Gummer | USA-UK | 2014 | 90 min. | col | cert. PG | In English. London premiere
When Wendy’s marriage breaks down she decides to take driving lessons as she cannot depend on her husband anymore. Her instructor ends up being Darwan, an Indian Sikh, who is about to welcome his future wife coming from India. As unlikely as it seemed initially, the immigrant will become instrumental in the self- empowerment of the Manhattan book critic. Coixet’s superb work is enhanced by the nuanced interpretations of Patricia Clarkson and Ben Kingsley, with whom she had already worked in her film Elegy.
Sun 27 Sep | 8.00pm | Regent Street Cinema
