Scenes From New York City Transit Trailers

Portrays the loneliness and alienation subway riders experience in the dirt and graffiti laden New York City subway. Screeching cars, pulsing escalators and moving platforms, nervous and stressed riders as they wait interminably or as they surge forward to compete for a seat during rush hour. The underground claustrophobia is finally relieved as the trains emerge above the ground and rattle to the end of the line.

Reviews
Brendon Jones It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.
Claire Dunne One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.
Michelle Ridley The movie is wonderful and true, an act of love in all its contradictions and complexity
Payno I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.
