The Train Dreams Netflix premiere is just hours away as I type this, but here’s one more trailer for the acclaimed film, which has been on the festival circuit for most of the year after initially premiering at the Sundance Film Festival back in January.
Joel Edgerton and Felicity Jones lead the cast of the film, which is directed by Clint Bentley based on a screenplay he wrote with Greg Kwedar. It is based on Denis Johnson’s beloved novella, and is the moving portrait of Robert Grainier, a logger and railroad worker who leads a life of unexpected depth and beauty in the rapidly changing America of the early 20th Century.
We have a more detailed synopsis of the film below.
Based on the beloved novella by Denis Johnson, Train Dreams is the moving portrait of Robert Grainier (Golden Globe-nominee Joel Edgerton), whose life unfolds during an era of unprecedented change in early 20th century America. Orphaned at a young age, Robert grows into adulthood among the towering forests of the Pacific Northwest, where he helps expand the nation’s railroad empire alongside men as unforgettable as the landscapes they inhabit. After a tender courtship, he marries Gladys (Academy Award-nominee Felicity Jones) and they build a home together, though his work often takes him far from her and their young daughter. When his life takes an unexpected turn, Robert finds beauty, brutality and newfound meaning for the forests and trees he has felled. An ode to a vanishing way of life, an ever-evolving world, and to the extraordinary possibilities that exist within even the most simple of existences, Train Dreams captures a time and place that are now long gone, and the people who built a bridge to a future they could only dream of.
