'Stranger in a Cab' (, lit. "This is not a thriller") is a Canadian drama film, directed by Patrick Gaz and released in 2014.Caroline Rodgers, [https://www.lapresse.ca/cinema/nouvelles/entrevues/201410/25/01-4812597-ceci-nest-pas-un-polar-une-enquete-amoureuse.php "Ceci n'est pas un polar: une enqute amoureuse"]. 'La Presse', October 26, 2014. The film stars Roy Dupuis as Andr Kosinski, a lonely taxi driver in Montreal who begins a passionate affair with Marianne (Christine Beaulieu) after she is a passenger in his cab, only to become concerned that she may have been involved in a crime.Brendan Kelly, [https://montrealgazette.com/entertainment/arts/movie-review-ceci-nest-pas-un-polar "Movie review: Ceci n'est pas un polar"]. 'Montreal Gazette', October 30, 2014.
Brendan Kelly of the 'Montreal Gazette' reviewed the film positively, writing that "You could call writer-director Patrick Gazs debut feature a Qubcois 'Taxi Driver' but that would be misleading. Like the classic 1976 Martin Scorsese film, Gazs Ceci nest pas un polar which translates as This Is Not a Thriller is a drama focusing on a troubled cabbie driving the mean streets of a North American city. But thats where the comparison ends." He further singled out Dupuis's performance in the film as one of the strongest of his career.
The film premiered on October 9, 2014 at the Festival International du Film Francophone de Namur,[https://www.lapresse.ca/cinema/cinema-quebecois/201409/18/01-4801462-ceci-nest-pas-un-polar-en-selection-officielle-a-namur.php "Ceci n'est pas un polar en slection officielle Namur"].
