Murder on The Orient Express

Today we are talk about Murder on The Orient Express, the 2017 film that Kenneth Branagh directs about the infamous train ride through the Orient Express. From the famous Agatha Christie and one of the well known mystery film, Murder on The Orient Express this is not the first telling. Whereas, celebrated detective Hercule Poirot (how do you even say that name?) is recruited to solve the case. In addition to the cast of characters; Pilar Estravados portrayed by Penelope Cruze or Gerhard Hardman inhabited by Willem Dafoe, the prim Princess Dragomiroff regally embodied by Dame Judi Dench, the youthful Miss Mary Debenham by the lovely Daisy Ridley rounded out by Leslie Odom Jr., Johnny Depp, Michelle Pfiffer, Josh Gad, and Olivia Coleman. 

Hercule Poirot: “My name is Hercule Poirot and I am probably the greatest detective in the world.”

Some of our favorite parts of this movie are:

• The cast of Kenneth Branagh’s friends and acquaintances
• Johnny Depp got chewed out for showing up late one day
• Beautiful vistas and other moving landscapes
• Stunning geometric glass windows in the bar car
• Brilliant saturated colors that viscerally add to the story

Also, we offer special thanks to our editor Geoff Vrijmoet for this episode and Melissa Villagrana for all of the social media posts.
