    ...but i still remember it
    I saw this movie on TV about eight years ago. I knew neither the title nor the names of the actors but I was so deeply moved by that, though i haven't seen it, since i still remember the feeling it left in me. Though "A travelling Companion" tells a bitter story of loneliness and estrangement it had a kind of soothing effect on me. Some many years have past but i can still see quite vividly the last scene of the movie in my memory, i mean, Cora's smile - tired, bitter and childishly delighted at the same time. I won't go into the details of the plot as i'm not sure that i remember it correctly. Besides a few people had already posted a message with its summary. All this years i've been trying to find this movie but it seems that it's quite unknown. Probably now that Asia Argento has become a cult figure "A travelling Companion" will get some additional exposure as this film really deserves more popularity.
