TWILIGHT | SZÜRKÜLET


HUNGARY, 1990, B&W, DCP, 105’, HUNGARIAN

At a mountainous village in Hungary, a tough detective investigates a series of schoolgirl murders. While locals seem to be in denial of the horrible events, the investigator sinks gradually in the obsession over an ostensibly never-ending mystery. Made up of engraving-like images of a world where light seems to dry up, rarely screened ‘Twilight’ remained for years in obscurity. Its recent restoration reveals in all its grandeur the blackness behind the staggering aesthetic completion and arrests in its full monochromatic splendor an apocalyptic vision from innocence’s end. One of the most atmospheric and ominous films ever made. Th.K.
