Trenhotel is this intriguing piece that takes a deep dive into the complexities of love and commitment. Olivier, this chemical engineer juggling family life and late-night train rides, finds his routine disrupted by a chance encounter with Elisa. The train setting creates this unique atmosphere – a moving microcosm where moments feel fleeting yet intense. The pacing has a languid rhythm, almost like the train itself, which draws you into Olivier's internal conflicts. The performances are subtle, capturing the nuances of longing and regret without overstatement. It's not flashy, but there's a raw honesty in how it explores themes of desire versus duty, and that’s where its charm lies. Definitely a film that lingers with you, much like the journeys it portrays.
