Adapted from two-time Pulitzer Prize finalist Denis Johnson’s 2011 novella, Clint Bentley’s Train Dreams tells the story of an ordinary man, Robert Grainier (a career defining performance from Joel Edgerton), who lives all of his years in the forests of the Pacific Northwest, working on the land, helping to create a new world at the turn of the 20th century.

Combining the visual poetic sensibility of Terrence Malick, an elegant voiceover narration from the great Will Patton, superb performances from secondary cast (Felicity Jones, William H. Macy and Ireland’s own Kerry Condon), Train Dreams is a quiet sleeper gem of a film - a visually arresting, emotionally affecting portrait of solitude and survival
