A lakatlan ember

Bizarre film which portrays the strange adventures of two good friends, Tamás Fóvárosi and Csaba Békés, in a non-specific time and place. Tamás, a Mozart lover, and the trumpeter Csaba, who can no longer speak after a suicide attempt, communicate in an unintelligible, unusual meta-language, which a monk interprets for the viewer.The Hungarian critic György Báron (Kritika) wrote: 'It's not the complexity of the story or its many different meanings which causes the embarrassment - although these count - but the uncertainty of the narrator. This has serious consequences on the style of narration in the story and on the nature of the pictures as well and the director deserves credit for considering these consequences and for taking them'.
