The Driver's Seat (Identikit)

Elizabeth Taylor stars as a woman in search of the most dangerous liaison, in the most bizarre and misunderstood film of her career.

Never before released in the UK, The Driver’s Seat (aka Identikit) remains the most obscure, bizarre and wildly misunderstood film of Taylor’s illustrious career. Adapted from an unnerving novella by Muriel Spark, the film marked a wild step into the unknown for the screen icon, as she cast off the shackles of the US studio system in the shadow of her tumultuous personal life.

Directed by Giuseppe Patroni Griffi ('Tis Pity She's a Whore), featuring cinematography by three-time Oscar® winner Vittorio Storaro (Apocalypse Now) and co-starring Ian Bannen, Mona Washbourne and Andy Warhol, this much-sought after cult classic stunned critics and audiences alike upon its premiere in 1974 but failed to secure a UK release.
