Trains of Thoughts is an audio-visual essay, which reflects upon and compares metro systems around the world. It is an exploration of a world inside the world as well as feelings, fascination, obsession, fear and themes - of survival, control and silence - that revolve it. It is quite literally the seedbed of a wide variety of human stories, a center of diverse musical production, a favored locale of suicide and sexual deviance, a glitzy tourist attraction, or an ideal place for study or relaxation. Set to the excellent, uninterrupted soundtrack by Sofa Surfers, the filmmakers accompany us through the underground railways of several world metropolises, discovering what makes them unique. Sometimes visually reminiscent of a classy music video, this whimsical movie stands out for its original visual treatment and effective interplay of music and image.
