Editorial Reviews

From the pen of famed Hungarian novelist Peter Eszterhazy comes this erotic tale of passion and betrayal. Lili, a young gypsy girl, falls madly in love with a dashing salesman who introduces her to life’s sensual pleasures. When Lili discovers he is engaged to another, her life begins to spiral downward into unending sexual liaisons and an unsatisfying marriage. Eszterhazy wrote the novel under the pseudonym Lili Csokonai--the main character--so the story unfolds through her eyes, like an autobiography. The film’s complex weaving of flashbacks and memories perfectly captures Lili’s haunted perspective on her life as does Tibor Mathe’s beautiful cinematography.

5.0 out of 5 stars Just one thing wrong with this, June 30, 2007

This review is from: School of Senses (DVD)

The only flaw in this DVD is the odd choice of font for the title on the box (they're like circus letters, I couldn't see the tie-in). But that's it. Movie follows a girl whose young adulthood comes on a little too fast, and can't quite keep up with it. Director Andras Solyom shows a short period of her life from it's most exciting time to it's most tragic, at a snappy pace. Although it is narrated by the lead character, Solyom uses a different actress, with a much older voice that really conveys the damage. Dorka Gryllus in the lead roll is perfect, she is so energized and flirty, and lonely and angry, she covers it all. Music, which I think must be some kind of Hungarian folk or folk/pop or something, is fantastic. Beautiful photography.
