About This Movie
Az óriás is a haunting exploration of love and vulnerability set against the backdrop of post-war Budapest. The film captures the stark contrast of a war-torn city and the fragile intimacy between two mismatched souls - young István, embodying raw strength and innocence, and Juli, whose trauma casts shadows over her heart. Szántó’s direction creates a tone that’s both tender and unsettling, reflecting the characters' emotional landscapes. The pacing is deliberate, allowing us to linger in their moments of connection and fear. The performances are raw; you can feel the weight of their circumstances. What stands out is how Szántó uses the setting almost as a character itself, amplifying their struggles and desires in a world that feels both close and distant.
Post-war themes resonate deeply throughout.Distinctive use of Budapest as a character.Intense performances that capture raw emotion.
