Rolling, rolling, rolling


The Train Rolls On (1973)

Directed by Chris Marker this is a documentary with archive footage and interviews. We look into the famous CineTrain run by Medvedkin in the 1930s.

Essentially propaganda for a propaganda effort this film never really questions the nature of using the train to get peasants to question each other. A decent watch but clearly pushing an agenda. Probably only of interest to historians.

3/5
