Hukkle

May 31—Jun 6, 2024
    Part of
  • BAM Film 2024
  • and
  • I Will Not Be Your Friend: the films of György Pálfi
Directed by György Pálfi (2002)
With Ferenc Bandi, Józsefné Rácz, József Farkas, Ferenc Nagy

An old man hiccups. A goose goes about its business. Flies buzz. A cat earns its living. A runaway cart causes a stir in the village. In this nearly wordless mosaic of vignettes, György Pálfi depicts the pastoral existences of several human and non-human characters in a Hungarian hamlet—and all the while, a suspicious death bubbles under the surface. Newly restored in 4k, Hukkle, Pálfi’s visionary debut, is finely attuned to the sensual possibilities of both nature and cinema.

Join us for a Q&A with director György Pálfi following the screening on May 31.
