"Porcelain Doll, The
An adaptation of Ervin Lázár's dark fairy tale collection Star Farm, The Porcelain Doll brings to mind the magical realism of Luis Bunuel. The story takes place in a small Hungarian farming village where life is quiet and serene - until strangers come to visit, that is. A troop of soldiers is forced into a bizarre athletic competition with a 14-year-old boy. A Soviet functionary shows up with a plan to literally raise the dead. Two elderly people on the lam from the law show up looking for a place to hide. Employing non-professional actors, extreme camera angles and a general disregard for the "rules" of moviemaking, venerable director Pétér Gárdos creates a cinematic experience every bit as unique and haunting as its subject matter.
