(COMPARTIMENT TEURS, Costa-Gavras, France 1964, 95 min., French/subtitles)

In one of the classiest thrillers of the ’60s, six people travel in a railroad sleeping car from Marseilles to Paris. Upon their arrival, a woman is found dead in one of the berths. The police investigate the other five passengers, suspecting that one of them committed the homicide, but the suspects are killed one by one. For his first feature, director Costa-Gavras (Z, Music Box) assembled a first-rate cast of French actors, including Yves Montand, Simone Signoret, Jean-Louis Trintingnat, and Michel Piccoli.
