Reception

Aurélien Ferenczi of Télérama wrote in 2009: "The cleverness of the film is how it finds unusual visual equivalents to classic themes of 60s auteur cinema—-at the heart, we are very close to Antonioni. Yves Montand and Anouk Aimée are terrific, and One Night... A Train is perhaps, quite simply, its director's best film."[2]

Box office

According to Fox records the film required $1,650,000 in rentals to break even and by 11 December 1970 had made $525,000 so made a loss to the studio.[3]

gollark: I have a bunch of stuff bookmarked or starred, but I have no idea what you consider "interesting".
gollark: I've not had any issues with btrfs yet. Though stuff I installed recently is configured with f2fs, so I'm not sure how much is using it.
gollark: "Offline" in the sense of "not visible to the internet", I haven't burned it to blu-rays or something.
gollark: I have offline low-resolution copies of styro's videos for if (when) YouTube does something stupid personally, too.
gollark: The annoying thing is that bedrock edition is much better technologically but not moddable in any significant way, not usable on Linux and overly monetized.

Toute l'intelligence du film est de trouver des équivalences visuelles inédites aux thèmes classiques du cinéma d'auteur des années 60 - on est au fond tout près d'Antonioni. Yves Montand et Anouk Aimée sont formidables, et Un soir... un train est peut-être, tout simplement, le meilleur film de son auteur.
