Polish screenwriter-director Maciej Drygas delivers a mesmerizing, if melancholic, masterpiece on the human, not just European, experience.
He draws on a sprawling archive of black-and-white shots of life in and around trains, captured across epochs by dozens of videographers worldwide. He sews these humdrum and unconnected snippets into a tapestry, and weaves a story that’s at once inviting and inquiring in its very telling.
