A dive into the heart of New York in the shoes of a taxi driver.
Publicity
It is an adventure that brings together two men of images.
A man of cinema, producer-director-screenwriter, Benoît Cohen, who left for New York and became a taxi driver, with a specific goal: to put himself in the shoes of the heroine of his next film, to live life himself of his character.
From this singular experience, he will make a novel, “Yellow cab”, a reference to this emblematic vehicle of the Big Apple which has entered the collective imagination.
From this novel, another man of images, Christophe Chabouté, designer and screenwriter, will make a comic book album.
A graphic story in black and white which tells this extraordinary human adventure, and makes us discover New York and New Yorkers at the height of the asphalt.
The comic strip "Yellow Cab" by
Christophe Chabouté
, based on the novel by
Benoît Cohen
has just been published by Vents d'Ouest editions.
