Sunset

As a Hungarian I was stunned at this pointless disconnected script.

I guess this film is feigning art.

Loved the costume and period photography. What is the background or the foundation for this plot, if anything.

If this period was pre WW I why all the bombed out buildings in the set?

I guess I was expecting more dynamics, but unfortunately didn't see it. Too much protractedly and like it turns around and turns, and turns. Nothing compared to the previous one. Yes, the style is the same, fast moving camera in one frame, ok, but it should be more than that considering giving us the good story. This is just running through some smoke, darkness, shiness and perhaps the picture of preparing for the war.

It is a very suspense heavy one with Altman-like narrative and with all over a Twin Peaks upbeat. The final scene, which is too plastic, is rather an ex machina ending, than anything else, which really makes it a hard movie, because at the end we would also expect to be able align with her, but it just doesn't really happen.

I watched this movie more or less by chance. I went to a non-mainstream theatre (this movie wasn't widely exhibited in Portugal), read the sinopsis and decided to give it a try.

On the one hand, this is one of those movies that really transport you into another time and place. Due to the brilliant sets and costumes, you really fell that you are in 1913's Budapest.

On the other hand, I found this movie dreadfully boring, I couldn't stop looking at the clock! I found the plot either irrelevant, boring or confusing.

The variety of camera shoots is also very poor. At some point, I got tired of looking at the back of the head and neck of the protagonist as she walks around.

To sum up, athough this movie had a great potential, the final product ended up beyond expectations.

I saw this movie, in an unpremeditated way, kindly accepting the choice of a friend who absolutely wanted to see it. So without any a priori at all. Pros: photography, costumes and sets are all 3 excellent. We really feel in Budapest in 1913. Cons: this is an unintelligible and almost unpleasant sequence of scenes; it's ultra-rough!. A dozen times, I asked myself: what's the relationship between the current scene and the previous one(s)?!? I can not believe that this movie was directed by László Nemes, author of the unforgettable and poignant Son of Saul (2015). According to some people, it's art and/or an advanced form of expression. Well, well, well, ... Honestly? I didn't understand a damn thing. Really!

In summary: visually amazing but desperately boring ... Please László, come back to earth!
