The Station Agent

The Station Agent

The Station Agent (2003)
A man leads a very small life making miniature trains for hobbyists until his boss dies and provides in his will a place for him to live – an abandoned train station in upstate New Jersey. In his new, isolated home he makes a couple new friends.

I found this slice-of-life, non-story of a story curiously satisfying – touching even. The way these three odd, unremarkable people carrying on with their personal dramas make for a memorable movie. This story also offers an interesting look at the hobby of train spotting.
