Acclaimed playwright and screenwriter Israel Horovitz makes his directorial debut with My Old Lady, a comedy drama starring Kevin Kline as penniless New Yorker Mathias who plans on making some quick cash by liquidating the huge Parisian apartment he inherited from his estranged father. But upon arriving at the door of his new French home, he finds he won't gain possession of it till it's current inhabitant Mathilde (Maggie Smith) as passed on. What's more, according to an ancient French law, he must pay Mathilde a monthly fee until she dies. Chock full of humour and charm, there is a lot to like about My Old Lady, especially Kline on top form, and Smith, who is always a delight in the crotchety old lady role.
Released: 21st November (IRL/U.K.)
