Caught 70 first-time viewings last month, probably the most I've seen this year, though it resulted in just 7 great discoveries.
The highlight came the very first day of July with Children's Sicknesses becoming an instant favourite, and it is easily one of the greatest films specifically about childhood. It has a Zazie dans le Métro style energy, moving from Tableau to Tableau of childrens activity, often with colour, craziness and pizzazz, though it also had a couple of shortcomings, such as it's silliness and a particularly overdone chase sequence, but it never stops being charming.
(l) (l) (l) New Favourite (l) (l) (l)
Gyerekbetegségek / Children's Sicknesses (1966, Ferenc Kardos, János Rózsa)
Other Great Films:
Libahunt / Werewolf (1968, Leida Laius)
Abschied (1930, Robert Siodmak)
Piesen o sivém holubovi / A Song About the Gray Pigeon (1961, Stanislav Barabas)
Un monde sans pitié / Love Without Pity (1989, Eric Rochant)
Põrgupõhja uus Vanapagan / The Misadventures of the New Satan (1964, Grigori Kromanov, Jüri Müür)
Jidai-ya no nyobo / Time and Tide (1983, Azuma Morisaki)
Libahunt / Werewolf seems like a proper sleeper hit. Fantastic editing, spinning a narrative where you are never quite sure at what point in time we are each time we cut away, as past and present paints a portrait of a young orphaned girl who was always seen as different, with rumours she might be a Werewolf or witch. The photography begs for a 4k restoration as well. Beautiful, lyrical and unnerving.
