名称:神圣田野 1972-73 又名:Istenmezejen 72-73 / A Hungarian Village 年代:1974 类型:纪录片 语言:匈牙利语 国家:匈牙利 导演:Judit Elek 编剧:Judit Elek 剧情:Istenmezején is a village in Hungary whose name translates as “the field of God”. Shown in rich black and white, the young, 1970s-style women led by Ilonka and Marika must decide between education and working in the fields, getting married young at the village disco or a future in the city, and must stand up to stridently patriarchal structures along the way – as far from an earthly idyll as they are from the kingdom of heaven. After Judit Elek made her international breakthrough with her brilliant feature debut The Lady from Constantinople in the 1968 Semaine de la Critique at Cannes following several short and medium-length films, it was more bitterly ironic coincidence than intentional contrarianism that she was not able to continue with her fiction career – her politically essential film The Trial of Martinovics and the Hungarian Jacobins was put on ice by the authorities. She turned her attention to documentary work. And thus Istenmezején 1972–73-ban and its sequel Egyszerű történet (A Commonplace Story) together became her “most important film”, as the Lady from Budapest herself confirmed. She passed away on October 1, 2025. A 1975 Forum film!
