Description de l'objet

Benedek Fliegauf's Rengeteg (The Forest, 2003), which won the Wolfgang-Staudte prize for young film-makers. Depicting a loose chain of encounters and conversations around the town of Budapest, it was a real pleasure to watch. That the director billed his feature as a "dogme" film was largely coincidental to this fact; the film's joy lay in good casting, good camerawork, weird and wonderful dialogue and a vivid sense of the absurd in everyday life. The most striking formal decision taken by Fliegauf was the consistent separation of silent action and inactive talking. In the utter absence of events on screen, this film could be billed as anti-Hollywood. Instead, very quiet images became glimpses of the characters' rich and turbulent inner life. It may turn out to be a film that critics like better than the public. Fliegauf himself, though, answered a viewer's slightly irked question enquiring who he had made this film for by stating that it was meant for his generation; for young Budapesters leading ordinary lives.( www.kinoeye.org) | Awards: 2003 Berlin Filmfestival, 2004 Nominated for the Oscar awards in the Best Foreign Film category.
