I hate really bland titles for horror movies. Of all the things people could come up with, the films get called things like….. Post Mortem. Of course, it’s nearly never the actual director’s choice and quite often the film is much better than the title suggests.
An ex-soldier of the first World War is now a photographer that takes pictures of the dead, often with their, very much alive, relatives. He visits a small village that has suffered from Spanish Flu, with bodies piling up and unable to be buried because of the frozen ground. Here he meets a young girl, and they will help the town and its unfriendly ghosts.
Post Mortem looked so much better than I was expecting.

Cecília Felméri's assured debut begins with a camera travelling across the reflection of a Hungarian fishing lake - at once a familiar scene and yet dislocated by the perspective, ideas that will resonate throughout this psychological drama that finds strength in subtlety. This is a place where the idyllic meets the isolated, as Bence and his partner Janka (Diána Magdolna Kiss) try to get the place he has inherited from his father back on its feet, despite the fact that fish are mysteriously dying - the vague sense of unease in the film's opening moments underlined by one or two fish corpses drifting by.
Although there's a bond, the click of connection sparked by watching your lover messily eating a tomato or the right glance on a lazy afternoon, there's also a spikiness to a relationship that sees Bence...

The Notebook
Written by Tom Abrams, András Szekér and János Szász
Directed by János Szász
Hungary/Germany/Austria/France, 2013
Set in a small border village over the course of World War II, Hungarian curio The Notebook is unlike any war film you’ve ever seen. Its central characters are twin boys, named only in the credits as One (András Gyémánt) and Other (László Gyémánt), who think and act as a single person. At the beginning of the film, their parents take them away from their luxurious city apartment, fearing that identical twins would be too conspicuous in wartime. They are sent to live with their mean-spirited Grandmother (Piroska Molnár), despite the fact that she has unequivocally fallen out with their mother and is suspected of murdering her husband. The only instructions given to them are to keep up with their studies and record everything that happens in a notebook. It...
