The Pointsman
JOS STELLING: A DUTCH MASTER
Director: Jos Stelling.
Netherlands, 1986.
96 mins. Dutch with English subtitles.
Q + A session with Jos Stelling
When an elegant French woman steps of a train in the middle of the night, she finds herself not on a platform, but the middle of nowhere, yet close to a signal box. Stranded, she finds the pointsman, a man who barely speaks. She meets the small number of characters who come into his life, surviving winter into spring and summer. Shot in the UK?s most remote station, Corrour, THE POINTSMAN is a study of characters, largely free of dialogue, understood through gesture and look.
