I found this such an oddball film, fully living up to the reputation of director Wes Anderson. (I loved his 'Rushmore', loathed 'The Royal Tenebaums' and was indifferent to 'The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou') But apart from the 'outsider' American view of that country I must admit I did, in fact, find it quite endearing in parts. Pity about the grossly irritating central roles of the three American brothers, but that was ameliorated by the eventual appearance of the wonderful Anjelica Houston as their mother, though only in the last 15 minutes - but worth waiting for. The train of the title was itself quite intriguing. I assume it still runs. If so, would love to journey on it, though it was interesting to see the enormous contrast in travelling conditions and facilities between the classes. So in that, at least, it might have educated me. On balance then, 5 or maybe 6/10.
