If you loved Capitaines courageux, try Le Mécano de la Générale
Un pont entre un film que tu as déjà vu et un que peu de gens ont croisé. Voici ce qu'ils partagent, et ce que le second fait que le premier ne fait pas.
Ce qu'ils partagent
Theysit in Adventure / Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to Capitaines courageux, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What Le Mécano de la Générale is
Here's a movie that knows exactly what it is and does not care what you think. A Confederate train engineer pursues Union spies who have stolen his locomotive and, purely coincidentally, his girl. It is difficult to imagine a better silent film about trains, or a more earnest one.
