9/10
a Rabelaisian farce in the Bavarian Tyrol
10 February 2006
A most enjoyable human, comic, tragicomic and sexually satisfying film which Rabelais would no doubt have enjoyed. All, except one sexual exploitation scene (young woman in train wearing a cow bell while being served by her particularly uncouth and domineering partner)is genuine hearty and happy pleasurable sex. Though the storyline is not Gargantuesque, its inventions based on the the refurbished train are both varied and entertaining. Its stereotyped antipathetic characters quite often lose their rigidness and become quite human, while the surprises it springs on the spectator are bountiful, diverse and quite sufficient to sustain one's attention until the final scene where a young woman, finally, succeeds in conquering her reluctant foreign lover. But for the aforementioned scene, this film breathes and instates good, healthy, sexy fun!!
