TRAIN TO ZAKOPANÉ
“‘TRAIN TO ZAKOPANÉ’ IS A COMPLETE TRIUMPH!
The depth and range of Tanna Frederick’s remarkable work is always
stunning to see as she takes her next - and often deeper - step, in an
astonishingly brave career on stage and on film. She is a truly
extraordinary talent and never more so than in this outstanding and
unique film, which is also some of Henry Jaglom’s very best and most
personal work. Henry Jaglom’s haunting black & white version of his
own very successful play strongly resonates with complex and
profoundly touching humanity. There are exquisite visual contrasts,
a fascinating use of dark backgrounds & brightly lit foregrounds to
focus on Jaglom’s main characters as he & his editor Ron Vignone
create lovely star-fields and city-lights which give the film a poetic
and intimate quality that greatly enhances the characters’ very
complex love/hate relationship, in which bigotry and deception
walk hand-in-hand to their inevitable, yet profoundly touching
resolution. Ms. Frederick has found a co-star in the handsome
South-African born Mike Falkow, who equally and fully occupies
the period with her, for good and ill.
‘Train to Zakopané’ is a deeply moving,
wonderful film!”
