Movie Reviews of Gloomy Sunday

Movie Review: Absolutely splendid - haunting and beatiful
Summary: 5 Stars

One of the most memorable movies of all time.... I saw it in the theater years ago and it has been haunting me ever since. Powerful and poignant, unforgettable and incredibly beautiful. The setting, the times, the people, the loves and one monstrous betrayal,and then ultimately, a wonderfully ironic ending.

Don't miss it!

Movie Review: A nice European flavor to this film.
Summary: 5 Stars

I bought this DVD because I enjoyed it so much after viewing it once on my Netflix subscription. It depicts an era that I lived through as a child: pre and post WWII. Although taking place in Budapest with Hungarians and their experiences during this period, it is spoken in German by the actors and as I learned that language from my parents as a child born in the United States, I welcome the chance to have my language skills reinforced while being entertained. The music around which the film is constructed is also very haunting or perhaps I'm still too impressionable; I've always enjoyed Gypsy music with its love of life and sadness at the same time. The acting is good and the nudity is also tasteful and not out of context. It's presented as the Europeans see it and it may be a bit too much for American tastes but I must add that it's not coarse, but rather very natural. Perhaps you'd better pre-screen it before the kids see it with you (depending on their ages, your older ones have probably seen worse already). Lovers of roulade de boeuf will love this film.

Movie Review: One of the best movies ever!
Summary: 5 Stars

Movie Review: Utterly Mesmerising
Summary: 4 Stars

This movie has reached a cult status in Christchurch where I live in. Never there has been a movie that has been shown for four years and yet, it's ongoing. Despite that the setting is at the romantic backdrop of Hungary and it may give audience an impression that they are watching a Merchant Ivory Production, it is not. Suffice to say that there's a triangular relationship, a melancholy tune that this movie is named by, Holocaust terror in World War 2, human's propensity to self-gain at expense of others, eternal love that triumphs all. This is a movie that's best to be seen not knowing the plot and you shall it more rewarding towards the end. An unmissable experience and highly recommended. No extras in DVD at all.
