Biopic films always seem to be on the more serious side of filmmaking, but
The Lady In The Van, which was released five years ago, takes more comedic approaches with its storytelling. With two different personalities colliding and a tale spanning fifteen years of understanding, a little bit of chaos and Dame Maggie Smith playing the titular role,
The Lady In The Van is truly unique.
Set in Camden, London, the film retells the tale of writer Alan Bennett (played by Alex Jennings) and Miss Mary Sheppard, Claire Foy and Jim Broadbent also have minor roles in the film.
