Love

£19.99

Released: 19th September 2022. Károly Makk's beloved film, based on the autobiographical writings of Tibor Déry, is a meditation on time, memory, love and loss. Two women await the return of political prisoner Janos. His elderly mother believes him to be working abroad; his devoted wife knows the painful truth of his absence… and fears she may never see him alive again. Beautifully played by two giants of Hungarian cinema, Lili Darvas and Mari Törõcsik, the film is a subtle yet powerful exploration of the consequences of life under totalitarian rule. Perfectly realised, Makk's tender masterpiece is a landmark of international cinema. Love (Szerelem) comes to Blu-ray for the first time anywhere in a gorgeous new 4K restoration. “Makk's haunting, atmospheric and beautifully performed film, brilliantly shot by János Tóth” Derek Malcolm “One of the most potent portraits of life under totalitarianism ever filmed” Michael Brooke, Sight & Sound BLU-RAY SPECIAL EDITION CONTENTS Love (Szerelem, 1971) presented from a new 4K restoration created by the National Film Institute - Film Archive, Hungary.
