Synopsis
Man on the Train (L'Homme du train, 2002) is a quiet drama from Patrice Leconte that you can watch online on iFILM. A taciturn stranger steps off a train into a sleepy French town and rents a room from a lonely, retired poetry teacher.
Milan is an aging thief, in town to rob the local bank. Manesquier has spent fifty years in the same house and never once gambled with his life. Over the three days before the heist, the two men quietly try on each other's existence — one aching for a warm hearth, the other for the adventure he never had. French rock legend Johnny Hallyday plays Milan with weathered silence, while Jean Rochefort answers him with a fountain of wit. It's a gentle parable about the roads not taken.
