Szerelem (Love)

I don’t remember why I wanted to watch this, I think I saw an ad for it in Sight & Sound. My first Hungarian movie… and it’s a pretty good one! A woman’s husband is arrested for political reasons, and she endeavors to hide the fact from her mother-in-law. All the while, the government makes things more and more difficult for her. It has the austerity of a Bergman picture, but with light doses of humor. What really makes this unique is the use of quick flashes of memory and imagination, these momentary glimpses through the mind’s eye. Quite a good watch. Rating: 8
