Review movie Lenin: The Train

Between March and April 1917, during the first few years of World War I, a train carrying Russian emigrants travelled from Zürich, Germany and Sweden to Saint Petersburg. This train, under the leadership of Vladimir J. Lenin, had two senior officers onboard to ensure a smooth journey despite occasional conflicts between socialists and anxious workers concerned about the war. During this journey, Lenin's romantic involvement with the charming Inessa comes to an end, and his wife Nadja readies herself to welcome him back. The arrival in St. Petersburg is expected to be more triumphant than anticipated.
