About This Movie

Train of Shadows is this intriguing, experimental piece that really takes you into the heart of early cinema. Its silent format draws you in, making you focus on the visuals and the haunting atmosphere it creates. The pacing is deliberately slow, which feels fitting, almost meditative, as it explores themes of absence and memory. Guerín's meticulous attention to detail, especially with practical effects, adds a layer of authenticity that’s hard to overlook. The film’s recreation of a 1920s photographer’s journey feels like a love letter to the art form itself. There’s an ethereal quality to it, evoking a sense of nostalgia while prompting deeper reflections on the nature of capturing moments. It's definitely a unique experience worth pondering over.
