愛情列車長 (Time for Love / KOLEJ NA MIŁOŚĆ) 佳片推薦

■I was totally surprised to find the most pleasantly enjoyable film I have seen in decades since I saw the 2004 award-winning Polish film"Vinci"（盜走達芬奇).

■"Best" means sophisticated, witty, warm-hearted, intelligent, and philosophical with choicy music, and an intriguing plot.

■The contrast between the showy American blonde beauty and the smart/sensitive polish beauty is fascinating.

■An impromptu percussion ensemble with one tuba, jointly played by the train passengers during a tedious waiting when the train suddenly stopped in a cold wintry night is totally entertaining.

■A solo dance by the Polish drinks-serving girl in the cramped corridor on the train is fabulous.

■The story contains numerous pre-set clues to be picked up later. All loose ends end up tied.

■I cannot recommend more enthusiastically enough to those who dislike violence, negative energy, and animalistic appeal.

■The titles in English, Chinese and perhaps even Polish are misleadingly stupid. They fail to do justice to the rather richly-layered film.
