A good friend who happens to be the emeritus chair of film studies at the University of Colorado believes this is the best film made since 2000. I think you may agree.
Two men from two different walks of life develop an unexpected friendship in The Man on the Train.
Weary from his trip and in anticipation of the heist he’s about to perform, Milan (French rock star Johnny Hallyday) steps off the train after arriving in the small town where he’s to meet his co-conspirators and heads straight to the town pharmacy.
After accidentally buying the wrong product, Milan makes the acquaintance of retired teacher Manesquier, who offers to help the traveler and then promptly begins talking ad nauseum. Milan, after paying partial attention to the old man’s ramblings, excuses himself to find accommodations — only to run into Manesquier once more after learning that the hotel has closed for the night.
As the two men talk, they develop a respect for one another, as well as a secret longing to live the type of lifestyle the other man lives based on the desire to escape their own. See how they do it.
