In this featurette for the 2015 British biographical comedy-drama film "The Lady in the Van," director Nicholas Hytner discusses the true story that inspired the film. The film follows the story of playwright Alan Bennett, who allowed an elderly homeless woman, Mary Shepherd, to park her van in his driveway for 15 years. Hytner talks about the challenges of adapting Bennett's play for the screen, including the need to create a compelling visual language to represent the film's unique blend of humor and pathos. The video also provides a glimpse at the performances of Maggie Smith, who plays Shepherd, and Alex Jennings, who plays Bennett.
