Night Train (1959) by Jerzy Kawalerowicz (link to watch)
Comments:
Truly, all human life is here, and much turns out to be deeply disconsolate, involuntarily single, unhappily married, desperately lonely.

Night Train is a more subtle return to the same question: how do we deal with what came out in the past, an emptiness that still lingers in the present?

Close to the new waves to emerge in cinema in general, in the decade of the unlikely utopia of a fracturing world, this film is a magnificent example of how the cinematic language, from fictional trivial data, creates and installs spaces, time(s) and breath, increased as the context is presented. The camera travels in and around and with it our imagination is built and runs, catching humanity's train.
