Movie Reviews of Facets Multimedia Nighttrain [dvd] [polish W/eng Sub]
Movie Review: Some passengers envision romantic possibilities as they ride the train though the night
Summary: 5 Stars
"Night Train" (Pociag) is a story about a man and a woman who have to share a compartment on a train even though they would rather be alone. They both want their privacy so they speak to each other in riddles. Because they share very few details with each other, it takes a long time to figure out who they really are and what they are up to.
There is more to the story than mere strangers sharing a room. Some passengers envision romantic possibilities as they ride the train though the night. An otherwise uneventful ride is broken up by the excitement of authorities searching the train for a man who supposedly killed his wife. Many of the passengers get excited and create a witch-hunt. When the man she got to know is accused of being the killer, their interactions take new meaning and test their brief friendship.
Jerzy Kawalerwicz, who has considerable talent, directs "Night Train." As with his other films, such as "Mother Joan of Angels," "Austria," and "Quo Vadis," "Night Train" is exceptional. All in all, "Night Train" creates a romantic feeling, with its play on drama and jazzy music that ties it all together. The movie is a drama that borders on being a thriller. The story, presentation, and music are memorable and captivating.
Summary of Facets Multimedia Nighttrain [dvd] [polish W/eng Sub]
On the run from authorities, an anxious Jerzy joins a diverse group of passengers who board an overnight express headed for a resort by the Baltic Sea. Jerzy is paired with Marta for the night when they accidentally end up with tickets to the same sleeper berth. Marta is trying to escape Staszek, her spurned lover who is determined to find her at all cost. Tension escalates after the police enter the train looking for an escaped killer, turning the nervous passengers into a frenzied lynch mob fueled by rumor and hysteria. Director Jerzy Kawalerowicz?who favored stories about individual fate in a society crushed by external forces?cast legendary Polish star Zbigniew Cybulski as Staszek. Fresh from his success in ASHES AND DIAMONDS, Cybulski gives one of his best performances as the crazed lover on a doomed course.Similar DVD Movies
