Nobody else here likes E. European films? "Love," from Hungarian

Posted by tinear on March 16, 2010 at 16:26:49:
director Karoly Makk, is a quiet, sensitive, and beautifully constructed paean to the greatest of human emotions.
An old woman, whose son has been arrested and sentenced by the secret police to 10 years for a non-specified "crime," is cared for by her daughter-in-law. This woman has kept the truth from the old woman, leading her to believe her son is a successful artist in America by sending letters she herself has written.
Seldom do we see the human, individual devastation wrought by totalitarian regimes. We read the number, 300,000 incarcerated and "disappeared" but we can't feel much emotionally--- the numbers are too overwhelming. The old woman and her daughter-in-law, through their obvious love and caring for one another, and their mutual grieving for the absent son and husband, have an impact upon the viewer far greater than might be apparent: now, we can see what this might be multiplied by thousands or millions.
A poetic, beautiful film which I strongly recommend.
