Chaboute Christophe - Yellow Cab - Paperback

Binding: Paperback
Description: A burnt out filmmaker finds new inspiration behind the wheel of an iconic New York City taxi cab exploring a world where he is the stranger and the city his new workplace. After 20 years working on film and series shoots Beno t Cohen is drained. His enthusiasm gone a desire to stop writing and put down the camera takes over. In the city for a year he still wonders about how best to absorb the rich diversity of the cosmopolitan metropolis settling on a simple idea: he will become a taxi driver. Behind the iconic Yellow Cab behind the fantasy of freedom and independence behind the faces of his thousands of passengers Beno t discovers a world in which he is a stranger. First the administrative maze that leads to the taxi driver's license. Then the world behind the scenes. And finally the prejudices that surround the profession and lead the customers cops and entire city to look at it quite randomly either with indifference kindness or aggression. Beno t Cohen dives into his new life with the idea of turning it into a screenplay for a future film but the material he collects from this social experiment marks him deeply leading down unsuspected paths. The project transforms into an autobiographical novel interspersed with reflections on the creative process. With the help of Chabout it is now a sensitive deeply human graphic novel with breathtaking illustrations that pay vibrant tribute to the most famous of American cities.
