Routine Pleasures plot

Somewhere in the United States, a group of men meet twice a week in an old airplane hangar. They have laid an impressive amount of rails there and are running miniature trains through special landscapes. In between those images, Gorin pays attention to the film critic and painter Manny Farber. The paintings are on display and the film tells of Farber's appreciation for old Hollywood B-movies from the 1930s. Routine Pleasures looks for similarities between the train enthusiasts and Farber.
