European cinema at its best
22 March 2015 | by bobpaule – See all my reviews

I am used to seeing twisted Hungarian movies like this, cruelty and negativity taken to extremes, think Kontroll and Taxidermia. The intended effect is to elicit strong conflicting and contrasting emotions, on the background of the instincts exacerbated by addiction and madness respectively in the lead characters, which eventually overcome all education and inhibitions.

On the other hand I ask you to think about a nation that lost 2/3 of its territories after WW1 along with every battle it fought since 1848, with almost half of Hungarians living abroad and hated by all of its formerly dominated neighbors, with one of highest suicide rates in EU. Is it then any wonder that the minds of these directors are so twisted?

In the interest of historical accuracy the first "icepick" transorbital lobotomy had not been performed earlier than at least 1946.

A great movie, I absolutely loved it and strongly recommend to all. I already ordered the DVD.
