Those Who Love Me Can Take the Train is a 1998 French drama film directed by Patrice Chéreau and written by Chéreau, Danièle Thompson and Pierre Trividic. It stars Pascal Greggory, Vincent Perez, Charles Berling and Dominique Blanc.

Background and filming

The inspiration for the film, and its title, came from a request the documentary filmmaker François Reichenbach made to those attending his funeral.

The sequences on the train were filmed over 14 days in two carriages on trains running between Paris and Mulhouse. Chereau said: "You cannot really fabricate the movement of a train in a studio - the actors and the camera moving at the same time. We needed to have the real energy of that journey".
