The movie reunited Julie Christie and Donald Sutherland, twenty years after Don't Look Now.
Christie plays widow Helen Cuffe, who moved to a remote part of Ireland after the death of her husband. He was wrongly shot by terrorists.
Now some years later, Helen still lives alone with her son Jack who is now skirting with IRA activities. She spends her time painting, reflecting on her passionless marriage with her murdered husband.
Into her life comes Roger Hawthorne (Donald Sutherland.) An American loner, with a deformed hand who is restoring a small railway station.
After a gruff start, both find solace in each other. Until her son returns with a terrorist ringleader.
Unlike Don't Look Now, there is very little spark between the characters and even the screenplay. Although it has an explosive ending.
You sense this will be a bleak, sparse movie. It is also badly edited. The abrupt shift when the two main characters dance to a rock n roll song to the next scene seemed all wrong to me.
This was a BBC Film and when it was shown on its Screen Two strand. It received the lowest audience for a Screen Two film. Rather surprising given the stars involved.

Parts of this movie are really enjoyable, but the end result is so disappointing, I can't recommend The Railway Station Man. The upside is Julie Christie. She's so adorable in this movie, from her spunky personality to her cozy knit socks, from her plaid skirts to her swing dancing. Had her character been placed in a different, more even story, I'd want to watch more movies about her. She raises her son alone, after her husband was killed in a tragic mistaken identity shooting, and it's no wonder she catches the attention of most folks in her small, Irish town. With her son grown, she feels free to seek out more than just her hobby painting for fun. She meets the badly crippled railway station man, Donald Sutherland, and they hit it off. Will her son understand her need for romance? And will her son be safe, as he starts to get involved with the wrong crowd?
If I were to ascribe one word to this movie, it would be uneven. There's full frontal male nudity as John Lynch prances around in the ocean, an unexplained thaw in Donald's coldness towards Julie, an unexplained chill after Julie decides she likes Donald, a strange flirtation with her son's friend, and random IRA violence. And why is Donald continually cast in movies where he's supposed to be British? In this one, he has artificial red hair but no trace of an accent. Again, why? But Julie is cute as a button with wonderful energy. If I lived in that town, I would love to be her friend!

I rented this film because I wanted to see Julie Christie and Donald Sutherland act in tandem once more, almost two decades after their bravura performances in "Don't Look Now" They did not disappoint the second time around. The acting was superb, which is to be expected, but the story is also well-developed and especially in this post 9/11 climate,timely. Films such as this, which can deal with the larger themes of terrorism and political unrest while still being able to fully develop the more personal themes of love, loss and redemption among middle-aged lovers are rare; films that can do this well are rarer still. I highly recommend "The Railway Station Man." If only Donald Sutherland and Julie Christie were paired more often.......

What a load of rubbish.
Donald Sutherland with dyed orange hair - which it appears he must have cut himself - and a ridiculously long artificial lower arm with a hook on the end, tries to seduce Julie Christie. She adopts a rictus grin as a bizarre means of appearing to be Irish. At one point he pulls up her skirt with his hook and appears to have sex even though she is still wearing her woolly tights. When they do go to bed he still keeps his shirt on. The whole thing seems to have been filmed in a day, as Donald always appears in exactly the same clothes, and every time we meet the IRA man from Dublin, he is eating a Twirl. A truly dreadful film never far from becoming as farcical as Father Ted.

So this film came on just at the perfect time, for me and my wife to watch it, this is vary rare that we would watch a film during the week, but maybe a good omen?
The scenery is obviously stunning, giving a beautiful, yet stark setting for the characters to develop and the story to unfold.
I liked the minimal themes, there was no clutter that needed removing.
Acting was great - pace was fine, but for me, so much time was (rightly) spent watching the relationships developing, that the ending was rushed. It deserved more than that. Plus a character deliberately disturbs the couple at the end, when they knew not to... so it doesn't really make sense. It's as if the director thought, you know what let's just do this and we can all go home...
Shame, as not really seen anything like this before... loved the tucked in denim shirts though... very 90s...
