Two strangers on a train car share a life-changing moment of human connection in the Finnish/Russian romantic drama Compartment No. 6, screening at the downtown Klamath County Library on Tuesday, September 13th at 5:30 pm.
Set in the 1990s, Compartment No. 6 follows a young Finnish archaeology student as she boards a train to the artic port of Murmansk to view ancient petroglyphs, longing for her lover back in Moscow. Forced to share a tiny sleeping car for the day-and-a-half-long train ride with a gruff, ill-mannered Russian miner, the two strangers bond under their cramped circumstances – evoking a tender, shared humanity that can’t but be interpreted in the shadow of the current armed conflict in Eastern Europe, a development the film’s creators couldn’t have guessed at during filming in early 2020…
Compartment No. 6 is rated R, in Finnish, Russian and English with subtitles, and runs for 1 hour, 47 minutes.
