Train Dreams

A gorgeous meditation on America, ably shouldered by one of Joel Edgerton's very best performances, TRAIN DREAMS takes on mythic proportions while maintaining an intimate emotional delicacy. FILMED IN WASHINGTON! Set in the Pacific Northwest during the early decades of the 20th century, TRAIN DREAMS is a captivating character study that unfolds in a world of natural splendor. Robert Grainier (Joel Edgerton) is a taciturn laborer with a knack for stumbling upon scenes of awe and horror. His work in the logging industry and the construction of rail bridges throughout Idaho and Washington finds him bearing witness to marvels of engineering. He finds quietude and solace in his marriage to Gladys (Felicity Jones), the forging of their modest rural home, and the birth of their daughter, but the suspicion that he is subject to some obscure curse follows him through his days and haunts his dreams. Elegant voiceover narration from the great Will Patton helps to illuminate Robert’s responses to the mixture of eerie phenomena and dizzying progress that surrounds him. This is a beguiling film about getting swept into the current of incomprehensible change. Oscar's got its eye on this one!DramaPT1H42MPG-132026-03-06
