DVD Review - Tickets
This film is a collaboration between Ken Loach, Abbas Kiarostami and Ermanno Olmi. I was really looking forward to seeing it and expected a lot from (given who was involved). But
although it is a good film it didn't quite live up to my expectations.
The film is made up of three stories. Each story takes place in the same Rome bound train . In the first (and best tale) story we find the Professor (Carlo Delle Piane) at a meeting. We later find out that he is a lonely man. He becomes quite attracted to the younger woman (Valeria Bruni Tedeschi) who is the PR person for the company he is meeting with and it seems that she is take with him.
The second story revolves around an brazen woman (Silvana De Santis) who is on her way to a memorial for her husband. With her is a young man named Filippo (Fillipo Trojano). Helping her out is part of his public service duty. But he meets a young woman on the train who makes his thoughts go in a different direction.
The last story focuses on three young Scottish men (Martin Compston, William Ruane and Gary Maitland) who are on their way to see a soccer game. One of them loses his train ticket and discovers that it may have been take by another passenger.
All of the stories are interesting but I would have liked it if they had more depth. Still and all it, is a nice treat to see a film made by three legends in the world of cinema.
