James (2024) — A Nihilist's Wild Ride Through Vancouver's Underbelly
Meet James (2024), Max Train's sharp comedy-drama that follows a disillusioned East Vancouverite as he stumbles into an unexpected journey of rediscovery. After rescuing a forgotten race bicycle from the scrap heap, our protagonist—dogged by life's pointlessness—finds himself emotionally invested in restoring the sleek machine. But when a shady dealer with designs on the bike's hidden worth swipes it, James plunges into Vancouver's gritty underworld, racing against time to reclaim his ride and, perhaps, his sense of purpose before cynicism wins out for good.
Drenched in neon-soaked alleyways and grimy apartment complexes, James captures the grit and gallows humor of modern alienation while delivering a thrilling chase through the city's less glamorous corners. With a director known for blending offbeat humor with emotional depth and a cast that brings both quirky charm and raw edge, this film explores themes of redemption, chance encounters, and the power of small joys to rewrite a life story.
