Exquisite subtlety
22 June 2004
I thought I was oblivious to stereotyping people but this film made me realize that deep down i had always thought of dwarfs as probably being mentally handicapped. I apologies to all who suffer dwarfism and am glad to have been humbled by the gentle and magnificent subtlety of "Station Agent". Simply put this tells how a character you think would have all the problems meets several who you would think had none by comparison. As the film progresses they all are drawn to him for strength as he is they see him as being the most 'sorted' of them all. Very sharp. Would that we were all so observant in life! It isn't a story it's a lesson. So it wouldn't benefit from having a clever ending or a hook for Station Agent 2. I give it a 9 simply because no film can be perfect. However this one gets very near it!
