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

contemplating an arranged marriage with a woman he has never met. As
these two lives intersect, both will change in unpredictable ways.

Learning to Drive
Hollister and O'Toole were completely charmed by "Learning to Drive" at this week's Provincetown International Film Festival – where it rightfully took home the @hbo #AudienceAward. (At the Toronto International Film Festival audiences ranked it second only to "The Imitation Game".)
It is a simple story of two very different lives intersecting, at just the right moment. As Hollister says, it's not just about Learning to Drive – it's really about Learning to Live.
Featuring the indomitable re-pairing of Sir Ben Kingsley (yes, our Oscar-winning "Gandhi") and Oscar-nominee (and two-time Emmy winner for "Six Feet Under") Patricia Clarkson. Directed by Barcelona's very talented Isabel Coixet (who also directed Kingsley, Clarkson, and Penélope Cruz in "Elegy"). Screenplay by Sarah Kernochan – who has won two (!) Oscars for her documentaries, and whose artistic output has given O'Toole a complete complex.
Grace Gummer (Meryl Streep's real-life daughter) plays the movie daughter of Clarkson (who, like Meryl, went to the Yale School of Drama) and Jake Weber (Patricia Arquette's husband on "Medium").
Hollister and O'Toole – and their complexes – completely apologize when it comes to pronouncing last names in this podcast. Isabel Coixet, Sarah Kernochan – please just come give us a tutorial so we can sing your praises in person.
Theatrical release set for August 21, 2015.
Podcast extras include:
Official "Learning to Drive" trailer Clip from "Elegy" Musical excerpt from "Thoth" (the Oscar-winning short documentary by "Learning to Drive" screenwriter Sarah Kernochan.
