A Train Leaves in Every Hour

About This Movie

A Train Leaves in Every Hour is one of those films that really shows the early days of Belgian cinema. It has a sort of slow, languid pacing that might not click with everyone, but there's something comforting about it. The story digs into a woman's inner turmoil as she grapples with her marriage and the weight of her responsibilities. The performances are earnest, even if the script feels a bit clunky at times. This film captures an era and a sentiment that you don't see tackled quite the same way today. It’s got that distinct vibe of early 60s melodrama, making it a curious piece for any serious collector.

This film has had a somewhat uneven release history, with limited formats available, making it a bit harder to find, especially in good condition. Collectors often appreciate it for its historical context and the insight it provides into early Belgian cinema, despite its flaws. Interest seems to center around its unique themes and the performances, but it’s generally overshadowed by more prominent titles from that era.
