Orient Express

A woman tired of her married life takes the Orient Express on a trip to celebrate her fifth anniversary. She sees it as an opportunity to meet new people and live new adventure. During the trip she will meet the following people: A couple of thieves of international renown, an impoverished marquis and his undercover woman. A disinherited adventurer, and two undercover police agents. Bored and lonely, the beautiful woman accepts the courtmanship of three men she meets on the train.

Directed by Franco Lo Cascio, Orient Express leans on a strong ensemble — Nikita Gross, Anita Blond, Kethrin Brut — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about screen titles of 1996.
