Directed by Nicholas Hytner, with Maggie Smith, Alex Jennings and James Corden. Screenplay by Alan Bennett, from his memoir.
A big screen adaptation of writer Alan Bennett's iconic and celebrated memoir, directed by long-standing Bennett collaborator Nicholas Hytner. The film tells the true story of the relationship between Alan Bennett and the singular Miss Shepherd, a woman of uncertain origins who 'temporarily' parked her van in Bennett's London driveway and proceeded to live there for 15 years. Their unique story is funny, poignant and life-affirming.
