O'Horten
The moment the train leaves the station without train driver Odd Horten aboard, he realizes that the path ahead is a journey without printed timetabels and well-known stations. Horten has retired, and the platform does not feel like a safe place anymore.
With death as a metphor, the film draws a melancholy and humorous portrait of an aging man in situations most people probably will not get into, but should recognize.

A gentle meander
If you're being critical you could say that this film takes its time to go not very far, if anywhere. But if you're prepared for a laidback gentle ride, you'll find lots to enjoy from an engaging, underplayed central performance to some interesting characters and beautiful moments. Worth checking out.
