Movies for Readers: The Lady in the Van

The Lady in the Van, a true story based on Alan Bennet's memoir, tells of his relationship with a woman who lives by the side of the road in her old van. Trying to be helpful, Bennet agrees to let her park the van on his driveway for three weeks - where she lives for the next fifteen years. Of course anything starring Maggie Smith and written by Alan Bennet should be a treat, so I'm looking forward to this one when it makes its way to the U.S. market on January 15, 2016. (It is set for U.K. release on November 20, 2015.)


Even the trailer is fun:
