Who'll love it
A natural pick for anyone who loves trying to stay one step ahead. Keeps you leaning forward. Liked Pulp Fiction or The French Connection? This is a good next one.
The mood
Tense.
The pace
Moves at a clip, at 1 hr 35 min.
What might put you off
  • It's in French, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
  • Made in 1966: an older pace and style.
  • Skip it if you want something to relax to.

A movie producer, director and assistant take the Trans-Europ-Express from Paris to Antwerp. They get the idea for a movie about a drug smuggler on their train and visualize it while taping the script.
