 L'Homme Du Train (DVD)
 L'Homme Du Train (DVD) ... DVD released 22 September, 2003 at Pathe Distribution / Features of the DVD: Anamorphic, PAL, Widescreen / You wouldn't think that a movie, which mostly consists of two old guys talking could be a thriller, but that's exactly what L'Homme du Train is. French singer Johnny Hallyday plays a professional criminal who comes to a small town to take part in a robbery. By chance, he meets talkative Jean Rochefort, who invites the laconic Hallyday to stay at his house because the hotel is closed. The two form an unlikely friendship, each curious about (and envious of) the other's life. But all the while plans for the robbery continue, while Rochefort is preparing for a dangerous event of his own. The pitch-perfect performances make L'Homme du Train completely involving. Rochefort and Hallyday play off of each other beautifully; it's impossible to put your finger on what makes these subtle, supple scenes so magnetic. The whole is directed with spare authority by Patrice Leconte (La Veuve de Saint-Pierre). --Bret FetzerNewest Review: ... wrenching when they part… Manesquier just looks so lonely! Surprisingly it is actually Manesquier who attracts the women - ... more ... his love is Viviane but like Milan's gang, she takes a back role and is not introduced until well into the story.
Throughout the film the story was not so obvious that it could have been guessed as to what was about to come and something I really enjoyed about it. It took certain twists and turns - would Milan's plans even go ahead? This meant that without knowing what was going to happen, the ending couldn't be guessed either. It may be slow to start but it seems to finish quite quickly once it gets going. There is a...more |

'L'homme du Train' AKA 'The Man on the Train' is fantastic. There is a very simple story line, only 2 main characters but the story is a very intriguing one with two very famous French stars - Jean Rochefort, a very famous actor and Johnny Hallyday, the biggest French rock star so really a winning combination. Directed by Patrice Leconte who also directed 'Ridicule' and 'Girl on the Bridge'. The story: Milan (Hallyday) is on a train journey, his head aches from the ride.
