Fekete kefe (2005)
Slackers fairytale in wonderful black and white Budapest.
In recent years we have seem many slacker movies, about young (mostly) men not going anywhere and not doing anything in particular. Fekete Kefe (Black Brush) is different because it is so beautiful.
It is a beautifully shot, slightly surreal tale about four young men working as chimney sweepers in Budapest. The sun shines, they lay about, have strange conversations with their costumers and are ordered about by their boss. Then their slacker attitude lands them in trouble and they embark on a mission of sorts. They meet a score of weird characters along the way.
All this is accompanied by a fitting soundtrack.
True Romance (1993)
A contemporary fairy tale. Love, violence, and a bounty.
Why is it that this movie is always classified as nouveau violence? Yes there is violence, and a lot of it but not more than in any run of the mill Hollywood movie. It is also filmed in a way that makes you want to cover your eyes. Hey, violence does that. But it is also a romantic story of two young people that dont care too much for convention or even reality. His world is one of heroes, in comic books and on the big screen. She falls for a John and takes this plunge by telling him everything. Its a fairy tale. No matter how grim things get, there is that happy Hawai tune playing in the background, thats love.
