Our take
Somewhere between a Beat musical, a long-form music video, and a love-triangle drama, Márta Mészáros’s story of young love and female fandom is charged with the sights and sounds of the Hungarian counterculture. Sweeping traveling shots and loose performances give the feel of an unfurling festival.
