From the 2017 Mandel JCC Cleveland Jewish FilmFest!
Hungary | 2017 | Ferenc Török
On a summer day in 1945, after the end of WWII, an Orthodox man and his grown son return to their Hungarian village with a horse-drawn cart. Their presence sparks fear and unease among the locals, some of whom own property that once belonged to Jews who were deported during the war. This acclaimed drama evokes both Béla Tarr’s Sátántangó and Fred Zinnemann’s High Noon in its beautifully spare b&w cinematography and quiet, pregnant mood. “As a compact study of wartime guilt, the film has the look and feel of a waking nightmare.” –Christian Science Monitor. Subtitles. DCP. 91 min.
