The Station Agent

If you haven't already seen it, do yourself a favor and rent The Station Agent.

Peter Dinklage gives a slick performance in the title role as a man who moves to take up residence in a small town station house left to him by a co-worker (a short but sweet performance by Paul Benjamin) who passed away.

There's really nothing to this movie other than a small assemblage of psycological damaged characters who rotate around each other in the samll town of Newfoundland, New Jersey. But the film is beautifully shot and it deals with subjects that are rare in American cinema these days, most notably, reality.

It's charming. The music is great. Rent it.
