Prisla v noci (2023)
Great overall experience, unsatisfactory ending
I'm not used to Czech contemporary films I truly enjoy but this one hit the spot. I was especially surprised by the organic, realistic script. The camera work added to the story and kept it engaging and the actors' performance was also very lively and natural, especially of Simona Peková.
Taking away a few stars because of the end that felt very unfinished. A lot of loose threads were left hanging but not in a satisfactory manner. Also I couldn't help but wonder why they haven't called the police, and this plot hole I think in fact made the opened finale less cohesive than it could have been.
Fehérlófia (1981)
A masterpiece of animation
My Hungarian friend recommended me to watch this and I'm so grateful I found out this movie exists. It's a masterpiece. The visuals were simply stunning, the animation phenomenal. Such a mastery of motion, color, perspective, framing, flow... Every frame was without a doubt perfectly though out. Experimentation in almost every panel, everything in fluid motion, behind every shot an original thought. The voice acting was so melodical and fitting along with the music. Hungarian is simply a beautiful language.
Then obviously the story, symbolising the cyclical passage of time, sexuality, humanity... Along with subtle nods to the demons of the 20th century.
