A tough train journey through post-war Europe.

An American man starts working on Germany's night trains in the post-WWII era, finding himself entangled in the fight of the resistance against the American occupation. The final installment of Von Trier’s Europe trilogy returns to the classic noir formula but indulges in inventive visual tricks, with particularly original use of superimposition and the juxtaposition of colored elements with the black and white cinematography, anticipating Spielberg's "Schindler's List." However, despite the abundance of modern experiments, the film's aesthetic is deeply rooted in the classic melodrama, to the extent that, if not for the highly dynamic and choreographed camera movements, it could easily pass for a movie from the 1950s. The plot is somewhat lackluster, with several sequences that feel rather dull and convoluted without a clear purpose. However, the protagonist's journey through Europe aboard the train proves to be particularly captivating, steeped in a dark and dreamlike nature.
