Kút

Like some other reviewer mentionned it: it is a Panonian Western: slow, with well designed typical characters that contain just that extra depth, inner sadness and fatality. The right amount of killings.

All more or less accidental but they changed the life of everybody for ever. All rough but contemplative/ melancholic but not a tear jurker (at all). Interesting plot. The atmosphere is loaded all the time, with missed destinies, regrets, harsh lives. It doesn't take parts. Life goes as it goes. And in spite of everything people hang on it.

Very good acting. The final is quite satisfying. This is a real movie, not just entertainment.

I liked the characters, the slow storytelling. If you want to see a fast pacing action movie it is not your title but it has some western like crime/drama tone I enjoyed till the end.

I rated it to nine which is unrealistic but I really enjoyed this movie more than other 7ish or some 8ish movies. This can be because I am hungarian too, but I still think it is worth to watch.

If you don't have the budget of Hollywood movies, but you have a good idea how to make a true film, odds are on your side, as the story, script, acting, and alike which you can't buy with money (in a broad sense) are always more important, than the overpowering visual effects, and the faces of the current movie stars. Kút (Well) has to offer much: decent story, which keeps some suspense all the way to the end and shackles you to your chair; fair and good acting. You'll try to anticipate the events and think with the characters' head, altough most things will probably take a different route. Contains some nasty visual things, some of which I didn't liked, or I would have changed, altough nothing on the scale of gib/gore movies have, I think it's managable for nearly everyone. It'll be a good experience, if you decide to give it a watch, I recommend it.

Didn't know it was in Hungarian.

Didn't unfold the way I expected it to which kept me interested.

Oddball characters played really well by the handsome cast.

Starts off very quiet and slow but eventually gets nasty and brutal.

Balancing the brutality is, of all things, a sweet romance.

If you need a break from blockbusters and happily-ever-afters this could be for you.

For anyone that cares this was shot on "old school" 35mm film and it looks better for it.

Recognised the actress who plays Marsci but I can't recall the names of other stuff she's done.

Commendable example of the one location thriller genre.

This film is particular in itself because it has a not too imaginative plot but thanks to the characters and the development of this trivial plot the film becomes really nice. Let's start from the biggest flaw though, the acting isn't that great and the actors don't show much of the emotions well, but this huge flaw is compensated by the general atmosphere and the only noteworthy character with a very nice personal story and with a narrative arc that surpasses all the others in depth, in my opinion it can be said that he is actually the real protagonist and in conclusion I must therefore say that without this particular character the film would almost all be thrown away.
