Train Again

About This Movie

So, 'Train Again' is quite the experience. Peter Tscherkassky takes this raw, almost chaotic approach to railways in cinema, mixing archival footage with a very experimental vibe. It's like he’s trying to capture the essence of motion and sound, which is pretty exhilarating. The pacing is frenetic but purposeful—there's this heartbeat rhythm throughout that draws you in. It feels like a love letter to Kurt Kren, who explored similar themes in his work. You’ll notice the practical effects, too; it’s all very tactile, giving that sense of nostalgia for film as a medium. It’s not just about trains; it’s about the journey of film itself, which makes it distinctive in its own right.
