Meeting a stranger in a railway station, a woman is tempted to cheat on her husband.

Reflections

Review ★★★★★

  • beautiful movie of a man and a woman who fell in love meeting in a railway station
  • both are married so they are obviously under constraints to remain faithful to their partners
  • they give in to their love but are constantly avoiding witnesses / making up stories to hide their love
  • He is being sent to Cape Town (he’s a doctor) so they have to part ways
  • On the last day before leaving, they meet up again. She is desperate and wants to jump in front of the train but stops right before.
  • I felt it had similarities to In The Mood For Love which is also a movie of a couple that fell in love - difference though is that their partners were actually dating
