(aka 'Love')
directed by
Károly Makk
Hungary 1971
|
Makk's haunting, atmospheric and beautifully performed film, brilliantly shot by
Janos Toth, captures exactly the fear and uncertainty of the time. It is, above
all, a treatise on how such times affect fidelity, faith, illusion, love. It
deals specifically with Hungary but has an absolutely universal appeal...
completely unsentimental, but catches precisely what its characters face and how
they feel...an outstanding film. - Derek Malcolm One of the loveliest manifestations of romantic imagination I have seen on the screen. - New York Times  out

| Comments: |
What a beautiful discovery - aside from Bela Tarr I don't think I have seen any other Hungarian films... and know of very few on DVD. This effort from Second Run is 'director approved' and looks very nice indeed. I believe it is progressive, it is anamorphic and has superb shadow detail. There is some grain that resembles digital noise and dirt but it is not overwhelming. Subtitles are excellent and the introduction to the film by Maak is inspirational. This is another star for Second Run's report card as far as I am concerned - not only are they introducing some wonderful new cinema, but their DVD standards are exceptionally good. To add further enticement the DVD is priced quite reasonably. We highly recommend! |
