Strangers on a train share a bumpy ride in the Finnish film ‘Compartment No. 6’

Seidi Haarla plays a Finnish archaeology student traveling by train through Russia in Compartment No. 6.

At times, Juho Kuosmanen’s film plays like a scruffier, less romantic version of Richard Linklater’s Before Sunrise. There’s tension to every scene, a sense that anything could go wrong at any moment.
