The second film of Meszaros’ ‘Diaries’ is an affecting semi-autobiographical tale of a young Hungarian woman with ambitions of becoming a film director, set against the tumultuous backdrop of the Soviet Bloc.
An older woman and a younger woman connect and find comfort in each other’s strengths as their husbands fail them in this intimate drama by the ever perceptive Marta Meszaros.
A strongly feministic work, albeit a rather cold one, about a young Hungarian woman who must navigate an industrial job, toxic masculinity and social norms of marriage and child-rearing, directed with quiet authenticity by Marta Meszaros.
Meszaros turns Beat-inspired music-making into highly-sensual filmmaking in this work about rebellious Hungarian youths, romance and rock bands.
A recently-widowed mother who yearns to be independent and her overprotective son cross paths in what is a slightly nondescript second feature from Meszaros about the perceived strengths and weaknesses of familial bonds.
While rather light on story, there’s a refreshing, liberating quality to Meszaros’ feature debut about a young Hungarian woman’s search for romantic and psychological fulfilment.
