Sublime thanks Barbra
Thank you Barbra Streisand for mentioning this beautiful French 🇫🇷 movie
Driving Madeleine (French: Une belle course)
as you accepted your well deserved SAG Lifetime Achievement Award today.
My Review- Driving Madeleine My Rating 9/10 Streaming on SBS on Demand
This is a 2022 French-Belgian drama film directed by Christian Carion.
It stars Line Renaud who was born on the 2nd of July 1928 now 95 years old she is a French singer, actress and AIDS activist.
Her heartwarming portrayal of a 92 year old woman about to enter a care home and calls a cab to take her there in a very roundabout way is sublime.
Her early reminiscing is played in flashback and beautifully cast with Alice Isaaz .
Dany Boon is perfect as the stressed taxi driver Charles who drives Madeline around Paris as they both relate their life stories .
It's a wonderful movie and well worth the taxi fare as well as being a touching story as Madeleine tells Charles about her long life and Charles gradually lets Madeleine draw him out to relate his life to her we get a free trip through beautiful Paris streets and suburbs as this delightful couple relate to each other.
It's free to watch on SBS on Demand
Highly recommended by Barbra and me .
You'll need a tissue at the conclusion.
