love the gallows humour of that train track scene and its aftermath
devastating comedy! great stuff, that would probably have to be one of my favourite cinematic scenes ever.

shareI agree. The moment he started down the steps into the tube station, I started laughing and laughed all the way through to his "zombie" self straggling down the street. It's morbid, but so beautifully done--and then, the topper--he's dropped at Anne Britt's house! So often I find this kind of idea-driven foreign film to be poorly executed, but in this case, everything seems perfect.
shareI thought it was even funnier when upon his return to his first lady friend, with him looking like a zombie, she calmly tells him that they were going go-karting the coming weekend, to which he then replies, "Go-kart"?, looking at her in a puzzled fashion

Was also kind of terrifying. How many trains ran over him?
shareI'd have to watch it again to know, timlin-4, but I don't think I would be able to count. I did sort of turn away through some of that...didn't want to miss anything, but it was pretty gross.
shareIt was gross. Turning away does nothing to hide the sounds of bone crunching and excruciating trauma. I counted at least four trains. It was oddly comical.
shareThere were many moments like that. When he slices off his finger and starting shouting 'ouch' it takes a while for anyone to appear and when they do a woman tells him he can't remain sitting there. I thought 'but he's bleeding'!
The best scene for this humour that I've seen was in Noi the Albino - it involved a large pan of blood. Highly recommended.
I'm scared of the middle place between light and nowhereshare
