Final Cut: Ladies and Gentlemen

(Final Cut: Hölgyeim és uraim, Hungary, 2012)

Directed by: György Pálfi

Synopsis:

Završni rez: Dame i gospodo (2012), kolažni film mađarskog redatelja Györgyja Pálfija, arhetipska je hollywoodska ljubavna priča o odnosu muškarca i žene, predstavljena kroz inserte iz gotovo pet stotina filmova svjetske kinematografije. Provevši pune tri godine u montaži, Palfi je „reciklirajući“ kadrove celuloidnih junakinja i junakinja iz brojnih filmskih klasika različitih žanrovskih i autorskih stilova i poetika kreirao jedinstven filmski eksperiment i ljubavno pismo filmskoj umjetnosti.

Hukkle

(2002)

Directed by: György Pálfi

PHOTOGRAPHY: Gergely Pohárnok

Synopsis:

Pálfi’s feature film debut shows life in a small community in Hungary without using dialogue. Instead of using the usual verbal dialogue, the director opted only for gestures and facial expressions, while the sounds in the background are ordinary everyday sounds interrupted by the hiccupping of an old man waiting for a bus.
