Seriously undervalued movie, that I just happened to discover.
It moves step by step, showing a relatively short trip by train during German occupation of France. What we see is a true love story between two people. Their love develops steps by step deeper and deeper and the director leads us sensibly to accompany said ever growing love, step by step.
The best part is that the movie never leaves the correct balance between true emotion and sentiment. Once too often such stories move into the sentimental region, losing all seriousness. Here this is not the case, fortunately.
Those stories end by the lovers being torn apart forever, for eternity, e.g. By death; or eternal happiness by marriage and a happy family. Luckily this movie spares us all that, and rather offers insights into the realms of true, deep love.
Wholeheartedly recommended!
