Movie: Ceux qui m'aiment prendront le train
By Patrice CHEREAU, 1998, drama, 2h03, with

Synopsis Patrice Chereau's
amazingly photographed film is about a group of friends and lovers of a deceased
artist, Jean-Baptiste, who held something of a spell over the twelve or so
people who are traveling a fairly great distance by train together to go to
his funeral. The travelers haven't gotten along with each other in the past
and largely haven't seen each other in years, so it was Baptiste's last wish
that they all should have to travel a fair distance together on a train to get
to his funeral. A troublemaker by profession, Baptiste knows his entourage too
well, and knows that the journey will cause them to quarrel, flirt, reconcile,
mourn, and discover that there is something that links them all together. Not
only one of the best French films of the 1990s, but one of the best films of
that decade, period.
