AZ ÉN XX. SZÁZADOM

MY 20th CENTURY

Ildikó Enyedi
HU, 1989, 143 Min

The dawn of the 20th century approaches, filling humanity with faith in progress and a brighter future. Edison has just demonstrated his glowing miracle, and under a starry sky, two twin sisters are born — Lili, a feminist and anarchist, and Dóra, drawn to luxury and a life of ease. This magic-realist fable and enchanting tribute to the art of cinema was awarded the Caméra d’Or for Best First Feature at the 1989 Cannes Film Festival.

The fates of the two sisters cross paths again in adulthood aboard the Orient Express, with their destinies further shaped by a shared love for the mysterious Z (portrayed by actor Oleg Yankovsky, known among other roles from Tarkovsky’s MIRROR). This film, which marked the professional debut of world-renowned Hungarian director Ildikó Enyedi, is described by the filmmaker herself as her freest work. With a generous 72 shooting days at her disposal, she created a work that, with both irony and tenderness, turns toward the dawn of cinema and modernity to reveal the abundance of opportunities and streams of thought brought by the early 20th century - as well as the dangers still lurking quietly in the background.
