Description
Benoît Cohen's Yellow Cab is a deeply personal and poignant graphic novel that explores the intersection of creativity and everyday life. After 20 years in the film industry, Cohen finds himself burnt out and searching for new inspiration. He takes to the streets of New York City as a taxi driver, behind the iconic Yellow Cab, and discovers a world full of faces, stories, and prejudices. As he navigates the administrative maze of becoming a licensed taxi driver, Cohen delves into the world behind the scenes, encountering a diverse cast of characters who challenge his perceptions. The project evolves from a screenplay idea to an autobiographical novel, infused with reflections on the creative process. The result is a sensitive and human graphic novel that pays tribute to the vibrant city of New York. With breathtaking illustrations, Yellow Cab offers a unique glimpse into the life of a taxi driver in one of the world's greatest cities.
