The Station Agent (15)

Dir Tom McCarthy (USA 2003) 89 mins

With Peter Dinklage, Patricia Clarkson, Bobby Carnavale, Michelle Williams

This charming, quirky comedy tells of Fin (Peter Dinklage – In Bruges, Game of Thrones), a train loving loner who inherits a rural railway depot. The community seem reluctant to give him the seclusion he wants, especially a local artist (Carkson - House of Cards ) and a voluble Latino hot dog seller, Joe (Carnavale). The friction between them gradually smoothes off the more abrasive edges and creates unexpected friendships. This film boasts a sharp script and one of the best closing lines in cinema.
