"Cat's Play"
1972
Directed by Karoly Makk

Contemplative drama about rekindled passion, love, friendship and growing old. Two sisters, living in different regions of the country, continue to communicate through letters and phone calls. The correspondence, usually centering on earlier, happier times, turns darker when one of them falls desperately in love with her old flame. Told in the form of an epistolary novel and utilizing vivid images to convey the character's innermost thoughts, Makk's film is a serious, stylistically daring and deeply involving drama. Hungarian with English subtitles.  115 minutes.
