From `Glamour'
Hungarian cinema epitomises novelty. The hallmark of Hungarian cinema is the respectable irreverence that it shows towards prevalent norms. The Trivandrum International Film Festival (TIFF 2002), to begin on July 26, will have six films in the Hungarian package.
`Glamour', directed by Frigyes Godros, is the story of a Hungarian family lost in the tides of European history, and their fallible struggle waged in defence of their shop, which holds and protects them. The movie, which embraces almost a hundred years of history, stars Karoly Eperjes and Ezter Onodi, among others.
`Esti Kornel Csodalatos Utazasa' (The Wondrous Voyage of Kornel Esti) is, in a sense, time travel. Two trains depart from two distant points in space and time. On one of the trains, the renowned but ailing European writer, Kornel Esti, is travelling to Germany for his last lecture tour. It is a wintry day. The other train departs from the same station, though 30 years earlier, carrying the young Kornel Esti. On this beautiful, bright summer morning, he is on his way to the Italian coast travelling alone for the first time in his life...
Directed by Jozsef Pacsovsky, the film has Gabor Mate and Maryas Erdelyi in the lead.
Suryani Andras's `Film... Film... ' depicts the last days of an old couple who braved the storms of history to remain alive.
`Romani Kris- Gypsy Law' is the story of King Lear's folklore counterpart, who turns his life into an immortal tale, recounting it in the mysterious language of fairy tales. He weaves a web out of events and characters. However, his creation entangles and finally gobbles him up. Gyongyossy Bence directs the film.
Maar Gyula's `Point of return' is based on Lazlo Csiki's short story, which records the transformation of a Hungarian village after the Romanian revolution. No one knows exactly what is going on, but it is clear that there will be changes and a bitter struggle for re-division.
Janos Szucs, president of the board of directors in a large Budapest shopping centre, is 35, rich, successful and unmarried. For the first time in many years, he is about to go on a holiday. He buys a beautiful car exclusively for the trip. Kabay Barna and Petenyi Katal's `Meseauto' (Dream Car) records Janos's adeventure in his dream car.
Hungary is home for all those who want movies to stay aloof from the mainstream cacophony. So, be ready for the party.
