Love is a deeply moving story of fractured family life under a repressive political regime, also a deft artistic reaction to political censorship. Janos has been imprisoned on a trumped-up charge and his wife Luca tends his bedridden mother, comforting her by pretending that Janos is away pursuing a career as a Hollywood director. The haunting cinematography interprets the layers of fantasy and memory with flickering, dreamlike imagery, unsettling in the presence of a harsh, unspoken reality. Love is an understated modern classic, movingly performed and brilliantly directed by Karoly Makk.
