On Body and Soul
Teströl és lélekröl / Ildikó Enyediová / Hungary 2017 / 116 min. / 18 years / DCP
On Body and Soul has earned the nickname “a slaughterhouse romance” among reviewers, and some viewers even left cinemas in disgust. But the explicit naturalism is still combined with the sensitivity of melodrama and dreaminess of magic realism, and is, in the first place, the story of two stray souls who find each other in a world full of violence. Could dreams be a better place for them to meet?
