CGiii Comment

The most nerve-wracking, the most exciting train journey of all time!

It's all about the eyes...now, if a director can direct eyes...that's a director worth noting!

Jerry Carlsson is such a director...this will conjure up memories for those who remember...and, this will instill jealousy for those whose fantasies never came true.

This is a fantasy...with a premature, bitter/sweet ending.

A beautiful, beautiful film...oh gawd, it makes you miss the thrill of youth!

Perfection.
