The trailer for Bille August has seen the film, have been enough to get me interested.
Without knowing what to expect concrete to me, I must confess after seeing that me the whole movie work was very impressed.
The handpicked Star team from different nations contributes to very high level of drama. Even the still charismatic Christopher Lee finished the film with an important supporting role.
The division of history on two time levels is arranged as a success to call. Whether this the literary depth of the book was considered strong, I do not care.
A film has to entertain me - that's the only claim that I expect.
With Night Train to Lisbon, I was very well maintained for almost 2 hours and was very surprised by the historical conditions (dictatorship in Portugal) - here I had probably slept as a teenager in history lessons!
The camera has voiced - captured shots - not spectacular.
By several time jumps occur never idle.
The bottom line is considered, Night Train to Lisbon is a complex film that is best with a good glass of red wine enjoys - preferably from Portugal.
