Compartment No. 6

28 July 2022

Director: Juho Kuosmanen

See

Her:

Him: Laura, an archaeology student from Helsinki leaves Moscow where she was learning Russian and having a romantic relationship with her flatmate, a boujee society woman, who cancels joining her on a train trip to Murmansk. Instead Laura share a compartment with Ljoha(Yuriy Borisov), a gupnik. 

Think

Her: 

Him: Opposites attract but not at first. Everything Laura thought she wanted is the opposite of Ljoha. But he’s earnest, unpretentious, and opens her eyes for the lengths someone should go to help you fulfill your hearts desires. To the end of the arctic to see petroglyphs.

Feel: 

Her:

Him: The initial agitation and irritability you feel watching their interactions and misunderstandings give way to feelings developed over time and proximity spent together. The climax is him showing up for her, like no one else would. The ending is a fitting goodbye.
