"Hukkle"
2002
Directed by
Gyorgy Palfi
A uniquely non-narrative look at life in a rural
Hungarian town, Gyorgy Palfi's marvelous debut blends a dizzying melange
of sights and sounds into an audio-visual symphony. From an elderly man's
hiccup (or hukkle) to the mating of hogs and the death of a mole beneath
the ground, Palfi charts the everyday events of this sleepy community with
an eye to their mysterious and often sinister underpinnings. "Beautifully
shot, full of droll humor" (Variety). Hungarian with English
subtitles.
75 minutes. |
