In the twilight of his life, Jean- Baptiste,
a painter who has always lived in Paris,
says he wants to be buried in Limoges:
'THOSE WHO LOVE ME CAN TAKE THE TRAIN'...
So begins a sad, wild, and marvellous journey which unites all the people that he had touched during his lifetime - his lovers, his lover's lovers, ex-lover's new wives, old friends, casual acquaintances, and relatives. |

But their shared mourning cannot conceal the heartbreaks, rivalries, jealousies and passions which all simmer to the surface and will - over the course of the journey, funeral and wake - reach some kind of resolution.
Brilliant use of handheld cinemascope, an eclectic soundtrack that ranges from Björk to Mahler and vivid performances from an exceptional cast combine to powerful and moving effect in Patrice Chéreau's award-winning film. |
