Shot in 1972, this remarkable documentary was released ten years later and had its first Western film festival screenings last year. “Gyula Gazdag is an outstanding Hungarian talent who seems to specialize in getting into trouble. This film, which he made with Judit Ember, another alert and sensitive director, was banned for ten years. In it, a rural community is in financial trouble and an expert from Budapest is sent to advise and reorganize. He is successful but his manner angers the local committee. Despite their own management failure, they feel his arrogance should be the subject of a reprimand at least. The story is more than just true: so sure was the community of its cause that Gazdag and Ember were invited to film the actual debate, and the reality makes us protagonists in the case. It is a situation that could happen anywhere but seldom has such a subject been treated in so absorbing and striking a way. The resolution…?” (London Film Festival ’85). Selected for The Museum of Modern Art’s New Directors/New Films.

Quote:
A strange, beautiful and critically-acclaimed film by Gyula Gazdag, A Hungarian Fairy Tale begins at a performance of Mozart’s The Magic Flute where a beautiful young woman meets a handsome stranger and, transported by the music, they share one night of love. The son born of this magic night is raised by his mother but at the age of three, must be given a father’s name, even a fictitious one, according to Hungarian law. Years later, the engaging Andris sets out to find his “father” as his “father” begins a separate journey.

“Director Gyula Gazdag is known on the film festival circuit for his cynical slices of Hungarian life. But A Hungarian Fairy Tale is a dramatic departure. A lyrical odyssey in luminous black and white, it transports with its seamless weave of reverie and reality. Like Gazdag’s other films, this one is about people in an oppressive society. But for once the characters are not daunted or defeated. Instead they find escape — on the wings of a dream…

A Hungarian Fairy Tale’s exquisite imagery is intact on the small screen. So are most of the subtitles. And if occasionally a line of subtitle gets lost in a white background, it matters little. Gazdag’s beautifully bittersweet emotions speak a universal language.” – Michael Sauter, Entertainment Weekly
