Film Description

Three wonderful films from Hungarian cinema's most renowned filmmakers: My Way Home (Miklós Jancsó, 1964), Love (Károly Makk, 1971), and Diary for My Children (Márta Meszáros, 1982).

My Way Home: Poetic, evocative and deeply personal - My Way Home is considered Jancsó's first masterpiece. It sees a young Hungarian captured by a Russian soldier, but who forms an unlikely friendship with his captor.

Love: Makk's haunting, atmospheric and beautifully performed film is a treatise on fidelity, faith, illusion and love, and sees a woman feed make-believe stories to her imprisoned husband's dying mother to preserve the illusion of his freedom.

Diary for My Children: This reflection on Mészáros’ own experiences sees a young woman returning home to Budapest from the Soviet Union, repulsed to see the very same spectre of Stalinist oppression now rife in her homeland. A passionate yet critical study of personal and political awakening told in ruthlessly unsentimental fashion.
