Gyula Gazdag – Hol volt, hol nem volt AKA A Hungarian Fairy Tale (1987)

Quote:
A strange, beautiful and critically-acclaimed film by Gyula Gazdag, A Hungarian Fairy Tale begins at a performance of Mozart’s The Magic Flute where a beautiful young woman meets a handsome stranger and, transported by the music, they share one night of love. The son born of this magic night is raised by his mother but at the age of three, must be given a father’s name, even a fictitious one, according to Hungarian law. Years later, the engaging Andris sets out to find his “father” as his “father” begins a separate journey.

“Director Gyula Gazdag is known on the film festival circuit for his cynical slices of Hungarian life. But A Hungarian Fairy Tale is a dramatic departure. A lyrical odyssey in luminous black and white, it transports with its seamless weave of reverie and reality. Like Gazdag’s other films, this one is about people in an oppressive society. But for once the characters are not daunted or defeated. Instead they find escape — on the wings of a dream…

A Hungarian Fairy Tale’s exquisite imagery is intact on the small screen. So are most of the subtitles. And if occasionally a line of subtitle gets lost in a white background, it matters little. Gazdag’s beautifully bittersweet emotions speak a universal language.” – Michael Sauter, Entertainment Weekly
