Szindbad

Beschrijving
Regarded as one of the great 'lost' masterpieces of international cinema, Zoltán Huszárik's 1971 film is finally availabe for the first time on DVD. A surreal and highly stylized adaptation of the early 20th century writings of author Gyula Krúdy, the film depicts the life, loves and memories of traveller and womanizer Szindbád (played by the great Hungarian actor Zoltán Latinovits), as he contemplates his life of hedonism and impropriety and who tries to recover his great lost love before he dies. Evoking time and memory to extraordinary effect, Szindbád is a filmic elegy that is both lyrical and surreal - an experience unlike anything in modern cinema.

Sensual Szindbad (Zoltan Latinovitz) leaves behind broken hearts and fond memories when he moves from one woman to another. Some of them, overwhelmed by their tragic attachment, seek to have him join them in a suicide pact, others carelessly toss their lives away. He remains fundamentally untouched, but he finally gets his comeuppance at a grand dinner in a fine restaurant. The headwaiter confides in him at great length about troubles he is having with his wife, who was one of Szindbad's conquests. ...Sinbad ( Szindbád ) ( Szindbad )
