Review Text

Superb Noirish Hungarian Drama - Slippery, supple and sinuous, Hungarian director Lili Horvát’s deliciously re-worked psychological noir is a spiral staircase, polished to a glossy shine, down which unreliable motivations, self-delusions and romantic obsessions tumble in gorgeous 35mm.

Review Text

Lili Horvát’s second movie is part low-key stalker thriller and part woman-on-the-verge-of-a-nervous-breakdown character study, anchored by Stork’s ever-shifting performance as the slightly unstable medical professional.

Review Text

Such a mouthful of a title, poetic and unwieldy, belies the starkness of Hungarian writer/director Lili Horvát’s haunting and mysterious second feature, a kind of amnesiac love story crossed with the gloomiest of Krzysztof Kieslowski movies, and bordering on existential science fiction.
