Overview

Night Express is a 2003 comedy film directed by Imanol Ortiz López. The production has a runtime of eight minutes and received a United States release on October 23, 2004. The narrative centers on two men sharing a sleeping car on an overnight express train. One passenger is described as an extremely patient individual, while his berth mate is a complete hypochondriac. Concerned that his companion might possess habits that could disrupt his sleep, the neurotic passenger subjects the other man to an absurd interrogation. The film explores the tension between these two characters as they navigate their shared space during the journey. Information regarding the film is documented by The Movie Database and Letterboxd. While other films from 2003, such as Festival Express, are sometimes discussed in cinematic archives, they are distinct productions unrelated to the plot or subject matter of Night Express. This short film remains a specific example of the comedy genre from that year, focusing entirely on the interaction between the two men within the confines of the train car.
