Sonhos de Trem

Bentley’s modest, moving epic of the common man is a thing of rare beauty.

Joel Edgerton stuns in meditative period drama.

In its generation-spanning drama, life & death intertwine in the duality of the symbol of the train, something that represents both progress and destruction.

Here is a true hidden gem of a film, a meditative tone poem on what it means to live a good life.

Combined with the cinematography and Bryce Dessner’s contemplative score, the result is a melancholic, Terrence Malick-ian vision of a place that is brutal, beautiful and forever lost to time.

Joel Edgerton superb in Malickian story of trees, grief and railroads.
