(Ermanno Olmi, Abbas Kiarostami, Ken Loach, Italy/UK 2005, 115 min., Digital Projection)

This throwback to the classic European omnibus film unites a trio of masterful international directors for three interwoven stories all set aboard a train traveling from Central Europe to Rome. Italy’s Olmi episode shows an elderly businessman who finds new insight into life when he meets a younger woman; Iran’s Kiarostami depicts a young man torn between an older woman who controls him and a younger woman who attracts him; and England’s Loach tells the tale of three Scottish youths who learn a valuable lesson on the way to the football match of their dreams.
