BriefExplanation

This epic cinematic fresco is set in the 1930s where a man experiences love at first sight. He sets off on the trail of a mysterious woman, jumping on the train she is riding. But as soon as he reaches the first car, he finds himself in the 1940s. Determined to find her, the hero begins a frantic quest that takes him through carriages and eras, until he ultimately arrives in the present. Over time, styles change but the polo retains its timeless elegance.

The film was shot by famed cinematographer, Hoyt van Hoytema in multiple locations over nine days, ranging from a 1930s Budapest station with vintage trains, to a Ukraine metro to modern day green-screen studio for roof runs and jumps between trains.

There were 250 extras and outstanding style fashioned by Madeline Fontaine, nominated for an Oscar for Jackie. It is magnified by a cinematic soundtrack by Max Richter that gives the viewer goose bumps.
