If we
totaled the greatest number of calls saying, “I want to see that again!”
since the beginning of the Festival, the winner would be Gloomy Sunday
-- by a landslide.
This daring, romantic film travels down unconventional roads right into the
middle of what love is really like. Meanwhile, the landscape, as well as the
lush European art music score that accompanies it, drenches viewers in
gorgeous sounds and visions. Haunting, painting-like vistas of Budapest are
beautiful and yet somehow terrible at the same time.
Whatever you do -- don’t tell the ending.
This masterpiece played more than 85 weeks in Los Angeles, and this may be
your last chance to see it if you missed it. If you saw it once, see it
again.
