In 'Train Again', Peter Tscherkassky condenses the long history of railways in the movies into a rousing blast for the senses, created in heartfelt tribute to another local legend of experimental cinema, Kurt Kren (1929-1988).
"On the surface, this experimental short film might seem little more than a frenetically intercut sequence of railway images with frames from classic cinema. However, 'Train Again' does have a clear narrative and protagonist: trains, at the center of the birth of cinema and of so many of its monolithic works, traversing the cinematic history as if Dziga Vértov ("Man with a Movie Camera") had filmed and edited it. From the Lumière brothers to Edwin S. Porter, René Clair, Kubrick, and all the way to the contemporary Hollywood excesses disaster, this is a journey that cinephiles connoisseurs will enjoy, if they are willing to take on its atypical cinematic form."
