I'm not sure if this (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1095442/) is out in cinemas yet, but happened to see it tonight and it's definitely worth a look.
It's a story based in the US focused almost entirely around the interaction of a Senegalese taxi driver and one of his passengers, an elderly American man. I won't give away any more than that because I really feel this is a film which it pays to see fresh, but I will say that the acting was very good from both men. The script had a few small problems, but I was extremely impressed with Ramin Bahrani's (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1023919/) direction. More than anything, he has a superb feel for timing (although admittedly, this film will be too slow for some).
Has anyone else seen this or any of Bahrani's earlier films?
