    Life is like a train, you can follow the track, you can also change the fork, just a thought. Human beings are driven by desire and destroyed by...

    It's very bland, including killing people, but the director's cameo is his favorite scene, that of Cabuche who was caught by mistake. Zola's style? Many ordinary people are really full of wounds on the inside, but the jumping and flamboyant people are simple and...

La Bête Humaine quotes

  • Séverine Roubaud: Yesterday he almost got crushed between two train cars. I was so close to being free. One morning you're fine and by the evening you're dead.

  • Séverine Roubaud: There he is.

    Jacques Lantier: Where? I don't see him.

    Séverine Roubaud: He's coming around the shed. He's coming towards us. I see his shadow on the wall.
