Szindbád (1971) directed by Huszarik Zoltan.
A beautiful tale full of paradoxes.Imagine a film full of love affairs and not even a single sex scene in it !Well,such is the beauty of this great Hungarian film nicely shot by the legendary Hungarian cameraman Sandor Sara.One must just
keep a thing in mind before starting to watch this film.It is not for all tastes.Those who have ample patience in dealing with philosophical tales should only proceed to watch this masterpiece.Zoltan Latinovits is marvelous as the ageing Sindbad who aptly shows us that life is best enjoyed only when it is in constant movement.Watch out for a scene involving Sindbad eating numerous mouth watering delicacies.
Sindbad is based on numerous short stories by Gyula Krudy. This film is considered to be a major classic of Hungarian Cinema.

How a talented painter is forced to lose his eyes.
Tüske a köröm alatt (1988) directed by Sara Sandor
First of all, a word about the film's Hungarian title "Tüske a köröm alatt". In English, it can be translated as "A Thorn Under the Fingernail".Now, I wish to mention that there are two very important valid reasons to watch this film.It
features wonderful performances by "Cserhalmi Gyorgy" who is Hungary's leading actor as well as a marvellous film star in his own right.This film is also a successful result of the tight direction by one of the leading Hungarian cinematographers Sara Sandor.He has used all his technical prowess to provide breathtaking shots of Hungarian "puszta" and breathtaking shots of galloping horses.Cserhalmi is the so called thorn of the film. He is considered a troublemaker as he fights the corruption of the communist party.The film has plenty of nice philosophical dialogues which heighten its purpose. These are not the only reasons for a viewer to watch this films. The viewer must watch this film as it has entertainment too in form of romance, suspense and drama. If you like this film, I am sure you are going to like other films starring Cserhalmi Gyorgy. Best place to watch his films-Hungarian cultural centre.
