NEW YORK —
“Taxi Blues,” the highly acclaimed Soviet-French co-production that had its world premiere at the 1990 Cannes Film Festival, earning the best director prize for first-time filmmaker Paul Lounguine, will be distributed in the United States in November.
Set in contemporary Moscow, “Taxi Blues” is a vibrant, atmospheric drama about the symbiotic relationship between a hard-working, conventional taxi driver and a free-wheeling jazz musician that begins when the musician stiffs the cabby on a fare.
“Taxi Blues” will make its theatrical premiere in France in September.
