    Each in his own right has earned the most Prestigious Film Award for a director: The Palme D?Or aka The Golden Palm at Cannes. Ermanno Olmi for The Tree of Wooden Clogs in 1978 Abbas Kiarostami for The Taste of the Cherry in 1997, and Ken Loach for The Wind that Shakes the Barley...( read more) in 2006. Now the talented Trio of Italian, Iranian and British Cinema join forces to co-direct one film entitled Tickets with three parallel plots each with its own style and set in a train that travels across Italy toward Rome. On board are a family of Albanian refugees, a professor who daydreams conversations with a lost love, three brash Scottish soccer fans en route to a match, and a complaining widow traveling to a memorial service for her late husband, accompanied by a community service volunteer who's assisting her. Interactions among these Europeans turn on class and nationalism, courtesy and rudeness, and opportunities for kindness. Each Story has its own specific charm in this Train Movie ( as opposed to the classic Road Movie) that combines the impressionist camera of Olmi, the topographic precision of Kiarostami and the social preoccupations of Loach.

    Sometimes, 3 stories make a big film during a trip towards Roma.

    I found the first piece a bit too dreamy for my likes, but nevertheless, fascinating. The second piece by Iran's Abbas Kiarostami was funny and outrageous, and I truly felt sorry for her assistant. The last part of the journey was morally contemplative despite its disguise of lig...( read more)ht-heartedness. And by the end of the movie, I found myself wanting to take a train journey across Europe.
