Compartment No 6 (Kuosmanen, 2021): BFI Southbank, NFT1, 8.45pm
This film, which also screens on July 20th, is part of the 'Station to Station: Kazuo Ishiguro’s Top Ten Train Films' season. Full details here.
BFI Southbank introduction:
Her long-term relationship crumbling, a Finnish art student takes a train beyond the Arctic Circle to the north coast of Russia. She’s forced to share an austere compartment with a boorish young miner (Yura Borisov, as brilliant here as he was in Anora) who delights in making her feel uncomfortable. But as the landscape outside grows bleaker, these two lost souls begin tentatively to share empathy and friendship. Sublime and heart-warming, Kuosmanen’s Cannes Grand Prix winner has the gentle profundity of Chekhov’s best stories.
Here (and above) is the trailer.
