This is a one-of-a-kind movie, a portrait of an individual so rarely seen in films today. This film played at a bunch of festivals and I had the opportunity to see it at two. It gets better with each viewing. The subject of the film grows on you. Johnny Berlin hearkens back to the Beats with his naive yet poetic commentary on the world around him. Trains are soon to become all but extinct in the United States, and the train porter is a rare breed indeed, but Johnny is no ordinary porter. I highly recommend this film to anyone who's interested in trains, people who like to observe life, and those searching for comedy in odd places. Johnny's personality may induce feelings of kinship or disownment, but I believe we all have a little bit of Johnny in us. He is indeed the everyman. IndiePix.net is slated to have this title for sale starting in December of 2006.
