And for a retreat into luminous, ageless film craft, queue now for Patrice Leconte's L'homme du train, a bittersweet fable about a chatty old schoolteacher (Jean Rochefort) who invites a mysterious gunman (Johnny Hallyday) to stay in his decaying chateau. It's rare to see a film so at ease with its diminutive size, so effortless in its charm and poignancy. Toronto had lots of celebs...
