Black Cab

2000 · 1 season

Short, intimate vignettes of city life, by turns wry and tender, glimpsed through fleeting encounters in a moving cab.

Overview: A series of ten 10-minute films – some humorous, some dramatic – capturing key in the lives of taxi drivers and their passengers. Among these journeys, a man visits his lover, a gay prostitute goes to work, two girls party on Christmas Eve, an American tourist sees 'real' London, and a cabbie helps a woman in distress.
How it feels: Melancholic, warm, tense and light. Measured and needs your attention.
About: Isolation, identity, class, love
Content: Mild violence, sexual content and language. No gore.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
