About This Movie

So, 'Time' from 1986, directed by Peter Gothar, gives us this raw, candid glimpse into life’s chaos, typical of his work. The film follows a family's vacation that quickly spirals into a sort of domestic crisis. The pacing feels deliberate, allowing the tension to build as the wife’s mysterious ailment leads them back to Budapest, and it’s there the real heart of the story unfolds. The performances are grounded, perhaps even a little unsettling at times, finding that balance between comedy and the absurdity of life's unpredictability. What really stands out, though, is the atmosphere—there's this palpable tension woven throughout, and those practical effects? They add a layer of authenticity that’s often missing in modern films. Gothar’s knack for showcasing society’s quirks is evident here too, making it a distinctive piece in his filmography.
