The Steam Express

1976 · 57 min

The unique editing of the film, in which cuts of the train running according to an unreadable sequence of rules are overlaid with radio weather forecasts, '60s pop music and FEN broadcasts, and the inexhaustible camerawork and fearless cutting bring the scenery seen through the train windows to life in this ambitious film. This groundbreaking work was an independent film at the time, but was released in a hall rented by the filmmaker and drew an unprecedented audience. This is the starting point for his posthumous film Bokutachi Kyuko A-Train de Ikirou!

🎬 MovieFinder's Take

The Steam Express is an acquired taste at 0.0/10. We recommend checking the trailer and synopsis before diving in.

Not every film is made for everyone. Read the synopsis, watch the trailer — you'll know right away if it's for you.

A classic from 1976. They don't make them like this anymore — which is exactly why you should watch it. Best for: genre fans and those open to something unconventional.
