Somewhere in the remote region, the war ends. In the midst of ruined cities and houses in the streets, in rural hamlets, everywhere where people still live, are children who have lost their homes and parents. Abandoned, hungry, and in rags, defenseless and humiliated, they wander through the world. Hunger drives them. Little streams of orphans merge into a river which rushes forward and submerges everything in its path. The children do not know any feeling; they know only the world of their enemies. They fight, steal, struggle for a mouthful of food, and violence is merely a means to get it.Read More »

Huszárik made two experimental shorts in 1971 and 1976, entitled Tisztelet az öregasszonyoknak/Homage to Old Ladies and A Piacere/As You Like It, respectively. The first is a homage to the old country widows whose husbands died in World War II and live their lives according to daily tasks and regulations until they die (which is mainly inspired by Huszárik’s own mother). The second is a study of death in its various forms, including a gypsy “merry funeral” and stock footage of bombings and concentration camps in WWII.Read More »

This is a story of a man who wants to grasp and hold his beloved one by him and a woman who insists on that her love can’t be grasped; ‘she’ only can deliver hers. It has written Comedy, Romance etc… but, this movie doesn’t include anything funny, I believe.After I see the movie, I thought that love springs through a one’s heart and it has its own spirit. It doesn’t have to have any company. The matter is if it coincides its mate; that’s it. A must see masterpiece for lovers.Read More »

Stock and Salamon have been partners for a while now. Their cabaret performance is a great success night after night. Being broadcasted on TV at New Years Eve is very important for both of them, too. Finally they can sing their song for the whole country: Nobody can do it alone.Read More »

The Passion (original title in Hungarian: Szenvedély) is an adaptation, probably the best one (the uploader’s humble opinion) of James M. Cain’s crime novel: The Postman Always Rings Twice. You might not agree with this but I’m sure it can be matched to Visconti’s Obsession or to the Bob Rafelson’s work preserving the original title of the book.Read More »
