Skenbart - en film om tåg (2003)

Also knows as 'Illusive Tracks' this one is simply delicious. I had no idea Swedes can have such a good sense of humor. It is amazing how much timing is important to make a good comedy and the actors take their time to get the rhythm just right. The plot is about a train ride from Stockholm for Berlin right after the war and about doing good and being idealistic again. Lots happen during that night. There are no characters, no deep imagery but Peter Dalle's dialog is brilliant for the context. It could be a sort of slapstick with Wittgenstein as a guiding idea. You'll love it.
