L'Homme du Train

A mysterious stranger, Milan (Johnny Hallyday), steps off a train in a place he has never been to before. Looking for a pharmacy to buy some aspirin for a raging headache, he comes across a retired school teacher, Manesquier (Jean Rochefort).

The two men are complete opposites. Or at least they seem to be. But each man realises that what he really always wanted is the life of the other man. This "emotional relationship between two heterosexual men is such a difficult and unusual thing to dramatise - but Leconte brings it off with delicacy and persuasive charm." writes The Guardian.

"LHomme du Train is a comedy-drama of wit, delight and humanity..." says the Financial Times, which focuses on the "funny, moving, poetic and unsentimental look at failure, with two terrific central performances." (Sunday Times Culture)
