The Station Agent

Films/DVD Asylum

Movies from comedy to drama to your favorite Hollyweird Star.

A wonderfully humble little film about a lonely man born with dwarfism who inherits an abandoned rail station in New Jersey and who finally gets to befriend a couple of neighbours.

Despite the story-line, it completely avoids mawkishness or bathos and had me smiling throughout the film. Peter Dinklage underplays the lonely introverted main role and is perfect throughout.

A great independant (?) US film (I love them when they work!) that comes highly recommended.
