For Finnish director Juho Kuosmanen, it was always an ambition of his to shoot a film on a train as well as a film in Russia. So, when he first read the 2011 novel Compartment No. 6 by Rosa Liksom,…
“I read this book when it came out and I felt in this book that there were lots of cinematic qualities like the train where most of the story takes place and the fact that it happens in Russia, where there are lots of cinematic locations to be found,” Kuosmanen said during the film’s panel at Contenders Film: International. “That was one of my dreams – to make a film in Russia.
“When something needed to be adjusted in the compartment, we had to take everybody out,” he said. “It was a slow and that was the biggest difficulty. The other thing was I couldn’t really be in the same space as the actors, so I had to be on the monitor and I actually don’t like to be on the monitor when I’m directing. I’ll check the takes on the monitor but I prefer to be in the same space as the actors and watching them with my own eyes and to actually feel the atmosphere.
