Harsh lights, long shadows: the perfect setting for a deeply researched,
deftly imagined tale, as one character puts it, of “crime, gambling,
cocaine, jazz, stock exchange maneuvers, smuggling, hypnosis,
counterfeiting, violence, Expressionism.” DESTINY EXPRESS is the story of a
marriage at the end of its passion, at the edge of history—all at the end
of an era when film was to mean more than it ever would again.
