Driving Madeleine
- 2022

- Directed by: Christian Carion
- Cast: Line Renaud, Dany Boon, Alice Isaaz
When taxi driver Charles (Dany Boon) takes a booking he discovers his passenger is 92-year-old Madeliene, travelling across Paris to a retirement home where she will spend the rest of her days. Charles, impatient with her requests to drive through parts of the city significant in her life, is at first distracted and preoccupied with his own problems but as her story unfolds he discovers her life has been anything but ordinary. Madeleine has lived through one of the darkest wartime periods of human history and survived violent abuse at the hands of her husband Ray Haguenot (Jérémie Laheurte). Yet she is neither bitter nor gloomy, having chosen instead to overcome life’s often unjust vicissitudes, to fight against them, and to embrace joy wherever she may find it. A mutual respect and friendship that neither will forget develop as they share their stories in this heart-warming drama. With thanks to Parkland Entertainment.

Car designer Carroll Shelby (Damon) teams up with mechanic/driver Ken Miles (Bale) in the story of how Ford tried to beat Ferrari at Le Mans in 1966.

Metropolitan Opera: Florencia en el Amazonas
- 2023
- US
Sung in Spanish and inspired by the magical realism of Gabriel García Márquez, Mexican composer Daniel Catán’s 1996 opera tells the enchanting story of a Brazilian opera diva who returns to her homeland to perform at the legendary opera house of Manaus—and to search for her lost lover, who has vanished into the jungle. The performance stars soprano Ailyn Pérez as Florencia Grimaldi, with Music Director Yannick Nézet-Séguin on the podium to lead a spellbinding new production by Mary Zimmerman that brings the mysterious and magical realm of the Amazon to the Met stage. A distinguished ensemble of artists portray the diva’s fellow travelers on the river boat to Manaus, including soprano Gabriella Reyes as the journalist Rosalba, bass-baritone Greer Grimsley as the ship’s captain, baritone Mattia Olivieri as his enigmatic first mate, tenor Mario Chang as the captain’s nephew Arcadio, and mezzo-soprano Nancy Fabiola Herrera and baritone Michael Chioldi as the feuding couple Paula and Álvaro.
