Those Who Love Me Can Take the Train Movie Review 1998

Bisexual artist Jean-Baptiste Emmerich (Trintignant) has died in Paris but wished to be buried in his hometown of Limoges--a four-hour train trip for his motley group of mourners, which include friends, relatives, and former lovers of both sexes. Things don't calm down at the cemetery where yet more relatives await, including the artist's estranged twin brother. Rather than bonding in grief, the trip and funeral succeed in bringing out old hurts and rivalries and causing the shakeup of more than one relationship. French with subtitles.
