Patrice Chereau's amazingly photographed film is about a group of friends and lovers of a deceased artist, Jean-Baptiste, who held something of a spell over the twelve or so people who are travelling a fairly great distance by train together to go to his funeral. The travellers haven't gotten along with each other in the past and largely haven't seen each other in years, so it was Baptiste's last wish that they all should have to travel a fair distance together on a train to get to his funeral. A troublemaker by profession, Baptiste knows his entourage too well, and knows that the journey will cause them to quarrel, flirt, reconcile, mourn, and discover that there is something that links them all together. Not only one of the best French films of the 1990s, but one of the best films of that decade, period. [More]

Committees may be necessary to run a democracy, but they do not seem an ideal structure for writing a good movie.

Little more than a soap opera. And it's not a very good one at that.

There's little substance to the dialogue or the plotless narrative, but the intense actors seem to put everything into their performance and give it an air that something big is taking place.

. . . enriched by an intensified examination of the eternal human comedy that is very similar to paths we all tread.
