🎬✨ **Train de Nuit pour Lisbonne** (2013) – Bille August
Un professeur suisse solitaire sauve une inconnue du suicide. Elle disparaît, ne laissant qu’un livre : les mémoires d’Amadeu de Prado, médecin, poète et résistant sous la dictature de Salazar.
Bouleversé par ces pages, il abandonne tout et prend le train pour Lisbonne. Là, il plonge dans les souvenirs de ceux qui ont connu Amadeu – sa sœur (Charlotte Rampling), son ami d’enfance (Bruno Ganz), son ancien amour (Mélanie Laurent). Entre héroïsme et fragilité humaine, il découvre un homme complexe, hanté par l’amour et la trahison.
En reconstituant cette vie, c’est la sienne qu’il interroge : ses regrets, ses choix, sa propre quête de sens. Lisbonne devient le théâtre mélancolique d’une renaissance intérieure.
*Avec Jeremy Irons, dans l’un de ses plus beaux rôles contemplatifs.*

🎬🎬 Night Train to Lisbon (2013), directed by Bille August, is a philosophical mystery and drama about fate, memory, and the choices that shape our lives. The story follows Raimund Gregorius (Jeremy Irons), a reserved Swiss professor of classical languages who lives a solitary, predictable existence in Bern. His life takes a sudden turn when he prevents a young Portuguese woman from committing suicide. She vanishes, leaving behind a book by Amadeu de Prado, a Portuguese doctor, poet, and revolutionary. The book’s profound reflections stir something deep within Raimund, compelling him to abandon his routine and board a train to Lisbon in search of Amadeu’s story.
In Lisbon, Raimund begins to unravel the life of Amadeu (played in flashbacks by Jack Huston), a brilliant and idealistic man who was both a healer and a fierce opponent of the Salazar dictatorship. Through encounters with people who once knew Amadeu—including his sister Adriana (Charlotte Rampling), his childhood friend Jorge (Bruno Ganz), and his former lover Estefânia (Mélanie Laurent)—Raimund pieces together fragments of a life marked by love, betrayal, and moral conflict. Each testimony reveals a different side of Amadeu, blurring the line between heroism and human frailty.
As Raimund becomes absorbed in Amadeu’s world, he also confronts his own stagnant existence. The journey forces him to reflect on his choices, regrets, and the possibility of transformation, even late in life. Lisbon itself, with its melancholic beauty, becomes a backdrop for both history and self-discovery.
The film intertwines past and present, philosophy and politics, creating a meditation on the meaning of courage, love, and identity. While Raimund never fully uncovers every mystery, the experience awakens him to life’s richness, reminding him—and the audience—that the act of seeking meaning can be as important as the answers themselves.
