Snowpiercer

This is a film Terry Gilliam would make, go over budget on, have taken away by a studio, throw a tantrum over, then release independently. In short: it's weird. The good weird. People are riding on a train in a dystopian ice age. The train represents society and (literally) the passage of time, as the passengers live on the train. People are separated by rail cars: poorest in the back, richest in the front, and everything in between--schools, foliage, water, sushi, dance clubs. But, with any good revolution, the downtrodden must revolt, disrupt the status quo, and derail the train.
