The Storm

About This Movie

The Storm, directed by Zoltán Fábri, paints a stark picture of rural life and collective effort gone awry. It’s a slow burn, really, as you see the impending chaos of the storm juxtaposed against the everyday banter at the co-operative. The atmosphere is thick with tension—the impending disaster almost feels like a character itself. Árendás, with his grievances, voices frustrations that many can relate to; it's about accountability and the consequences of negligence. The performances feel grounded, almost raw, which lends a certain authenticity to the drama. And yes, the practical effects of the storm itself are surprisingly impactful for its time, adding to that sense of urgency. It’s one of those films that lingers with you, making you ponder about community and responsibility long after the credits roll.
