Comme chez nous

One simple story told beautifully. Thats what i thought , a beautiful movie. Story, acting, cinematography , background score every part of movie is is amazing. For a long time i wont be able to forget the characters of András and Zuszsi.the sequence where the man helps the kid with homework. the moment where the they are listening to the music sitting in their chairs, just enjoying the music!so many moments, loved them. SO many beautiful moments woven together to make such a beautiful movie. From the title sequence,after a long long time got see a great title!Márta Mészáros has been a revelation to me this Kolkata film festival. Her Diaries... were great.But this movie is going to be with me for a long time. a sure watch for all those who want to see good cinema.

I spent a long time searching the internet to find a copy of this film on DVD as I have a great admiration for young Zsuzsa Czinkoczi after seeing her in what must have been a truly awful part to play in Nobody's Daughter, the only other part I had seen her in was as an adult in American Rhapsody. It was quite refreshing to see a film where a perfectly innocent relationship develops between a young girl and a man rather like a Father and Daughter in a very good story. The lengths the little girl went to get her dog back were truly heart warming.My only disappointment was in the awful picture quality on the DVD but that still didn't spoil the enjoyment of a great movie.

I've seen this film twice, some time ago, and been reminded of it by a set of vidcaps appearing on the Net. The plot is strange and very unsettling; the closest I can compare it with is "La Drolesse". And I'm certainly not going to give away any more than that. It frequently subverts expectations as to how relationships are going to develop. For once an English title for a foreign-language film is cleverly thought out- it's deeply ironic in more ways than one.
