"The Girl"
1968
Directed by Marta Meszaros

A young woman leaves a state orphanage to find her mother in this interesting examination of how the overt repression of women in the older pattern of village life has been replaced by the more subtle sexual and economic exploitation inherent in the apparently freer existence of young girls in the contemporary city. A key film from Marta Meszaros. Hungarian with English subtitles. 89 minutes.
