"Another Way"
Sexual Politics
Amos Lassen
"Another Way", a Hungarian film, is not new. It was made in 1982 yet its message is still very strong. The population of Budapest lives in an oppressive, intrusive and ubiquitous society under the yoke of Stalinism. In this existence, two women begin a love affair that defies everything around them.
Eva is a journalist and an intellectual. She was born into the peasant class so she is part of the village life. Her feelings of Hungarian nationalism are the opposite of what Stalin has brought to her homeland. She is a lesbian. Livia is a beautiful blonde who shares an office with Eva and the two women are like the free world and Stalinism--complete opposites. Livia is large and Eva is small. Livia is physical and athletic; she plays water polo (better than men) and she spends her nights in pleasure. She is a married woman; her husband is an army officer. Her life is a duality of political conformity and bland sexuality.
Livia is not happy with the way she lives although she has just begun to realize it. Stalinist Budapest is a drab place. Eva, with her heretical ideas and common peasant ideas tends to interrupt editorial meetings at the journal where the two women work and to Livia she is fresh and bold and she is interested in her.
We see how tedious life was in Hungary at that time. The fact that lesbianism was a dangerous secret, director Karol Makk conveys it beautifully.
The plot is heavy and to say anything about it would give it away. Politics plays a major role in the film and listening to the speech of moving Hungary into the 20th century and seeing it through Eva's peasant eyes is amazing. It is, however, hard to watch the iron-clutch that Stalinism has on the people. This is a film for the ages and it is beautiful to watch.
Summary of Another Way
Acclaimed Hungarian director Karoly Makk (LOVE, CATSPLAY) directs a startling romantic drama set against the aftermath of the failed Hungarian uprising of 1956. Livia, the quiet wife of an army officer, is a reporter for a Budapest newspaper where Eva, an outspoken lesbian, comes to work after two years of politically motivated unemployment. Eva and Livia engage in an intense flirtation, which leads to tragic consequences. Makk, a master at portraying complex relationship with socio-political undertones, based his film on a best-selling autobiographical novel by Hungarian author Erzsebet Galgoczi.Art House & International DVD Video
