Tickets
Tickets is a collaborative film involving three great filmmakers: Ermanno Olmi, Abbas Kiarostami, and Ken Loach. Each filmmaker contributed a segment to create the full film. The film follows the events that occur on a train ride across Italy, toward Rome. On board is a professor who daydreams a conversation with a love that never was (Olmi’s film), a complaining widow traveling to a memorial service for her late husband and who's accompanied by an assisting community service volunteer (Kiarostami’s film), and three brash Scottish soccer fans en route to a match (Loach’s film). All the segments are connected by the unifying element of the ticket and through a family of Albanian refugees, who switch trains and steal a ticket and a very patient (real!) ticket controller! Interactions among these passengers remark on class and nationalism, courtesy and rudeness, and opportunities for kindness.
