Couchettes express

About This Movie

So, 'Couchettes express' is a quirky little TV movie from '94 that dives into the life of Antoine, a steward on this night train between Paris and Venice. You get this sense of claustrophobia, you know? The train feels almost like a character itself. Antoine has to juggle the mundane with the absurd – collecting cards and ID from passengers, all while a guy named Jean-Bernard adds a layer of tension. This passenger is being hunted for his strange illness, creating this bizarre mix of comedy and drama. The pacing is a bit uneven, but it adds to the offbeat charm. The performances carry the film, revealing layers of human connection amidst the chaos. It's not your typical fare, but there's something intriguing about its modest ambition and storytelling style.
