A Night Without Armor (2017)
Strong emotions and principles battle it out.
I was not going to write, but I was shocked by the negative review on this movie, so I had to react.
Finding the strength to endure and stand true to your loved ones, especially not abandoning one's children, while finding support in the most unexpected places...this is the message of this movie. You can see the clash of instincts and principles, the slow to develop but then strong bond between the characters, the forbidden passion boiling inside, and then the strong attraction to another reality part of which is also symbolized in the small item they exchange, which is the token of a bond as strong as family.
BEAUTIFUL movie, A+ to the director and cast, such a masterpiece drama in 4 acts.
If you are married non-fundamentalist with a few kids and have retained a few working brain cells and doubts, watch this movie, it will really get you thinking, and it will not end on the night you watch it either. In other words, if you have a beating heart and do not suffer from Asperger's or was raised in a closet, this movie is for you.
Ópium: Egy elmebeteg nö naplója (2007)
European cinema at its best
I am used to seeing twisted Hungarian movies like this, cruelty and negativity taken to extremes, think Kontroll and Taxidermia. The intended effect is to elicit strong conflicting and contrasting emotions, on the background of the instincts exacerbated by addiction and madness respectively in the lead characters, which eventually overcome all education and inhibitions.
On the other hand I ask you to think about a nation that lost 2/3 of its territories after WW1 along with every battle it fought since 1848, with almost half of Hungarians living abroad and hated by all of its formerly dominated neighbors, with one of highest suicide rates in EU. Is it then any wonder that the minds of these directors are so twisted?
In the interest of historical accuracy the first "icepick" transorbital lobotomy had not been performed earlier than at least 1946.
A great movie, I absolutely loved it and strongly recommend to all. I already ordered the DVD.
