Housekeeping (1987)
One of my top 5 flicks

The way this movie ends with the shot of the railroad tracks - reminded me of the way in school they ask two parallel lines ever meet? Mathematically the answer is no but visually it's hard to believe. That dichotomy is at work here in what you feel has been done will happen.
The ambiguity is refreshing when most movie makers or studios feel that `happy' or obvious ending are the only thing an audience will take.
I was so moved by this movie I also read the book which is as wonderful...
A total total joy.
