Had an entertaining time watching movie yesterday, it's a German Movie Screening by the NTU German Club (all thanks to Emerald for asking me along, haha~) and it's FREE - What a cheap way to spend an entertained Friday evening.

The movie is quite interesting (Synosis Below), less some parts that I didn't really get it due to culture differences. Overall, I highly rate this film at 4 Stars out of 5.


Movie Title: "Trains & Roses", with English subtitles

Synopsis: Hannes, a shy and lonely truck driver from Dortmund , dreams of winning the first prize at a competition for readers of train timetables to be held in the Finnish town of Inari . When his leave is canceled, he knocks his boss unconscious and travels to Finland , unaware that his boss has been found dead. A police inspector pursues Hannes as the prime suspect, and finds himself being drawn deeper and deeper into the world of timetables. Ignorant of the situation, Hannes manages to stay ahead and meets a woman who reminds him that life is not always like a train: the fastest and most efficient route may not always be the best way out.

*A multiple award winner at the German Film Awards and Guild of German Art House Cinemas. Won the Prix de la Confédération Internationale des Cinémas d'Art et d'Essai award in 1997. Highly acclaimed at the Max Ophüls Festival and Verona Love Screens Film Festival. Theme: Comedy, Thriller, Romance
