    about the father. as about yorself
    Each time I saw "Apa", it was different. the common thing - the feel to be a personal story for me. because, for each boy who lose his father early, a long search remains as basic/fundamental duty. but the film is not only about this kind of search for better self definition. it is a film about Hungary . its past. its need to freedom. its society looking for the right way to be itself. the two themes are mixed. becoming one. and that fact does "Apa" an experience more than an artistic film. because its basic purpose is a sort of exorcism. and to give a map to yourself. surely, a masterpiece. and one of films who, at each new view, for me, remains a strange personal story.
