Train of Shadows (Tren de sombras, 1997)

In the text "The Kingdom of Shadows", Gorki warned that life in the cinema is but a shadow, that motion is nothing but its soundless specter, that if a train appears on screen, "is also a train that of shadows. "

"Train of Shadows" is a rather unique experiment in the history of cinema. It's film within a film, is almost a reverence to the movies. Absolutely masterful journey into the bowels of cinema emprendre Guerin. A ghost story and mystery that is revealed little by little, without the need for dialogue, only through the image, through study, dissection and the mere delight of the filmed image. It's a movie perhaps difficult, demanding, with a radical independence of the viewer, full of dead time, but the trip, I would say it is worth. It is also a difficult film to describe by words. It is a game that replaces photographs by frame, running from the still image to moving images literally shake.

Absolutely masterful journey into the bowels of cinema emprendre Guerin. Encounters with ghosts dancing in the shadows of prehistory filmic forgotten that helps us reflect on the origins of memory in its purest form. That we too will be. Film, no doubt, looks, adjustments between yesterday and today, and loneliness. This second act is filmed apotheosis where the empty house which had previously been living germ. That third act where the color creonstruye a new look to the past recovered from that family rescued in time.
