Douro Line - Heritage on Rails (2024)
A journey in real time on the Douro Line, the rail link with the greatest tourist potential in Portugal and which wants to be recognized as a World Heritage Site. Running mostly along the course of the river itself, this documentary puts the viewer in the driver's seat, showing the almost pristine landscapes of the upper Douro, through a view that until today has been exclusive to the railwaymen who travel the 171.5 kilometers of the route between São Bento station (Porto) and Pocinho (Vila Nova de Foz Côa). Along the way, we cross three World Heritage Sites: the Historic Centre of Porto, the Alto Douro Wine Region and the Côa Valley Rupestrian Art Sites.

A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.
The biggest problem with this movie is it’s a little better than you think it might be, which somehow makes it worse. As in, it takes itself a bit too seriously, which makes most of the movie feel kind of dull.
By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.
