Nine Months

"In Marta Meszaros's new film - as in all the previous ones - we meet a very conscious female character and needless to say, this doesn't entail any happiness or idyllic harmony. The nine months of carrying the baby of a man she doesn't want to marry is a real 'education sentimentale,' but for both of them. Man and woman have to learn mutual respect, the prize of independency. They are tormented inevitably by conflicts, selfishness, even hatred, to arrive once, perhaps, beyond love, to patience and attention, necessary for any alliance. The role is wonderfully played by Lili Monori...who actually bore her own child for the final astonishing moments of the film." --Yvette Biro
