Editorial Review: Description: Three of the world’s most celebrated directors—Abbas Kiarostami, Ken Loach, and Ermanno Olmi— join together to direct a trilogy of interwoven stories set during a train journey from Central Europe to Rome. The characters connect through casual encounters but the stories are related through their themes of social status, the mystery of chance, and sacrifice. An elderly businessman finds solace and a new insight into life when he meets a younger woman, played by Valeria Bruni Tedeschi (MUNICH), who arranges his train ticket after his flight was canceled. A young man is torn between an older woman who controls him and a younger one that attracts him. And three Scottish youths on their way to the football match of their dreams are forced to open their eyes and see the bigger picture. In each case, the train journey changes the course of the characters’ lives. Kiarostami, Loach, and Olmi—three masters at the top of their game—offer "one of the most satisfying omnibuses in recent memory." (Tim Wong, THE LUMIERE READER). Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Tickets - Three Interwoven Stories On A Train, Interesting and EffectiveTickets is a film of three interwoven stories about various train passengers. The three vignettes are directed by Ermanno Ormi, Abbas Kiarostami and Ken Loach. The stories are very effective and emotionally powerful, but at times it seems that more direction could have made this from a very good movie into a masterpiece. The film starts with the story of an older professor leaving Innsbruck and dwelling on his attraction to a secretary, played by Valeria Tedeschi. We get to ...

Good balance of depth and levity. Does not have the usual depressing feeling that many foreign films have. The English subtitles do not take away from the stories, as is the case with some films. I wanted to see more of each story. Rating: - Three Tales Set on One Train: Directed by Ormi, Kiarostami and LoachThree stories are told in `Tickets' directed by Ermanno Ormi, Abbas Kiarostami and Ken Loach. The entire film is set on a train going to Rome (except flashback scenes) and three stories are loosely connected to one another. The film begins with Ormi's fantastic and romantic tale about an aged professor (Carlo Delle Piane) leaving Innsbruck, Austria. He feels romantically attracted to a secretary (Valeria Bruni Tedeschi) he had just parted at the station and while he knows the train is ... Read More Rating: - 3 great directors, a train to Rome, 3 short filmsThe idea of Tickets is that three directors (Italian, Iranian and English) make a short (25-35 minutes) film that takes place on a train. The first is the Olmi and it was my favorite. One of my favorite international actresses is in it, Valeria Bruni-Tedeschi, and she takes my breath away as always. The movie is poignant and if you are an older person (think Hopkins in The Human Stain), memory, desire and the passage of time are profound issues. The Kiarostami immediately follows and is a journey ... Read More Browse for similar items by category:
