I Love Films That Make Me Think About Life
Love (Karoly Makk, Hungary,1971)
[youtube=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pmB3JpYXEcc]
An elderly woman lies ill in bed. Her daughter-in-law tells her that her son/husband, who is in jail accused of being a political dissident, is a famous filmmaker in America. The longing for his sucessful son to come back, and blurred memories of her family life are the only thing that keeps her alive.
Love in bleak, gloomy communist times, where your life was at the mercy of authorities, love for the gone husband or an ill lady in her last days alive, love is the only way to cope with the stifling reality.
A masterpiece.
