Twilight
György Fehér's Passion was among the acclaimed films at this year's Cannes Festival. Twilight is equally fascinating, as Laura Thielen wrote for the San Francisco Film Festival in 1991: "A detective, scouring the woods surrounding a remote mountain village for clues which will lead him to the murderer of young girls, is removed from the case when his obsession to find the serial killer begins to interfere with professional 'objectivity.' Still his obsession persists. Fehér's approach to the investigative genre is oblique and mysterious. A fluid camera traverses a bleak, raindrenched landscape on the cusp of daylight and nightfall where nothing is what it seems and everyone is suspect. Twilight draws us into a psychological netherworld where distinctions between guilt and innocence, pursuer and pursued are blurred. In his first feature, Fehér's masterful control of image and sound offers a fascinating portrait of the ontology of crime."
