The film has been inextricably linked to the train since its inception, with closed and tense box spaces, seats/bunks facing each other, and multiple carriages connected to each other but relatively independent... All of this makes the train an ideal vehicle for thriller and suspense movies.

9. Express trains across Europe (1966)
Director: Alain Rob-Grillet Country: France / Belgium
Rob Grillet, a "writer of the new novel" and a screenwriter and director, added a strong literary interest to the film. The film belongs to the "modernist" style, breaking the causal connection of narrative threads, the plot is not coherent, and the use of stream-of-consciousness time and space jumps and other expression methods is very creative at the time. Grillet uses the literary stream-of-consciousness technique to represent the conceptualization process of a literary work.
