★★★★★ Winner of the best film award at Karlovy Vary and given its second berth at the Warsaw Film Festival, Szabolcs Hadju's It's Not the Time of My Life is an engrossing, poignant and often very funny study of marriage, family and child rearing. The film gets an unusual degree of realism from the fact that married couple Farkas and Eszter (Orsolya Török-Illyés) and their son Bruno (Zsigmond Hajdu) are played by the director and his family, while the action takes place exclusively in their cosy real-life Budapest apartment.

Reviewed at Fantastic Fest 2010.
How in the world did director Szabolcs Hajdu convince investors to give him the money to make his new film, "Bibliotheque Pascal?" Given its highly unconventional style and incredibly horrific subject matter, I can only assume Hajdu is one of the most charming and persuasive salesmen in the entire world. Oh to be a fly on the wall of that pitch meeting:
Investors: So what do you have for us?
Szabolcs Hajdu: I want to make a film about people who can project their dreams into other people's minds.
I: Oh great. That's interesting. So where does the story go?
Sh: To an underground sex club in England where women are kept as slaves.
I: Um, wow. Ok. I don't know that I see the connection to the dream projection but --
Sh: And there's also some fairy tale stuff in there as well.
I: That's fine.
