Twilight

i cannot think of a country (besides perhaps senegal) that is more underrated in terms of its cinema than hungary. films like ‘The Fifth Seal’, ‘The Cremator’, ‘Mephisto’, ‘Wind’, and this film are hidden gems that would fly under the radar of the vast majority of even the most seasoned film buffs. i want to say the success and influence of Bela Tarr overshadows and “snuffs out” these films, but thats a stretch. 

there is nothing man craves more than explanation, even when something cannot be explained. this film is not simply a search for a killer, this is a search for humanity, for reason, for motive, in a world where there is none. where there is a lack of understanding, a lack of answers, man becomes desperate, whether its the blaming of gods or devils, or the baseless prosecution of innocents, man will find a way to explain the unexplainable, but still, thats nothing more than a sorry excuse for an answer. such a fallacious system has defined man as far back as records go, and will likely extend as far as records will. there is no end to it. 1 step forward is always 2 steps backwards. with every question answered, 2 more arise. it is but the perpetual struggle of mans existence. 

what a dreadful film (i mean that in the best way possible). its the most Bela Tarr film i have ever seen that isnt actually directed by Bela Tarr, and it makes me miss him that much more. what a film.

LOVE the cinematography

i was quite lost during this film but i thought it was fitting considering it was entirely based on the confusion in attempting to find a mysterious murderer

expérience de zinzin

C’est un film hongrois en noir et blanc qui sort complètement des codes habituels du cinéma policier. À la place du suspense ou de l’action, Fehér nous plonge dans une atmosphère lente, silencieuse et hypnotique, où tout semble flotter entre la lumière et les ténèbres.

L’histoire suit un inspecteur à la retraite obsédé par le meurtre d’une fillette. Malgré le temps qui passe, il continue à chercher le vrai coupable, plus par besoin de sens que par espoir. Le film devient alors une réflexion sur la vérité, la promesse et la solitude, bien plus qu’une enquête classique.

Visuellement, Twilight est sublime . Les paysages vides, la pluie, le brouillard et le silence créent une ambiance poétique et mélancolique.

L’acteur Péter Haumann est impressionnant : son regard fatigué raconte à lui seul la lassitude et la désillusion du personnage. On ressent toute la fragilité d’un homme perdu entre le devoir et le désespoir.

Twilight n’est pas un film facile : il est lent, exigeant, presque déroutant. Mais si on accepte son rythme, il devient une expérience profonde et sensorielle. Fehér transforme le polar en une véritable méditation sur le temps et la vérité, un film à la fois froid, poétique et bouleversant.

Painfully slow, but breathtakingly beautiful. More of a capture of a mood rather than conventional storytelling. The camera floats around weightless, almost like a ghost.
