Roman de Gare - 2007

I love foreign films and this is the first of many you will see on this blog that I have pre-screened and "loved".   This one is called ROMAN DE GARE which is French slang for "trashy novel one reads on a train or at a train station".   Another translation for the title is "Crossed Tracks".  

I remember seeing this film in a New York City movie theater and actress Uma Thurman was seated two rows away with a girlfriend.   Uma obvioulsy likes a movie with a good plot twist, too.

As the movie opens, a woman writer with a recently bestselling novel is being questioned about a murder. The story cuts to a young woman abandoned by her traveling companion at a roadside rest stop. A helpful man offers to give her a ride.  The story turns on a series of mysterious identities.   I certainly cannot give away the story but it's well worth watching.  By the end of the movie, the plot threads come together and the audience identifies each of the three mysterious characters.
