SUBLIME CINEMA #595 - WHITE GOD
One of Hungary’s best Cannes submissions - filled with images that stayed with me long after I saw it. Kornél Mundruczó‘s film is a gem, and Zsófia Psotta is special as Lili, her and Hagen - a stray dog - and their mutual protection of each other is the heart of the story.

White God (2014)
Tumblr media
If you’re wondering what the title of this movie means… ask someone else. I have no idea why White God but it doesn’t matter. What we have here is a unique story that's told in an equally distinct way. This is the kind of movie you absolutely must sit down and watch with others so that you can all discuss and decipher everything it has to say.
13-year old Lili (Zsófia Psotta) is staying with her estranged father, Dániel (Sándor Zsótér) for three months. When a neighbour spots Lili's mixed-breed dog Hagen and calls the authorities, Dániel is unwilling to pay the large “mongrel” fee and instead, abandons his daughter's pet. Alone, Hagen is mistreated and abused until a vengeful fire awakens within him.
White God is partially a dramatic tale of a girl’s four-legged friend trying to find its way home. That’s until the second half, when it becomes one of those animals running amok movies, the kind where normally harmless creatures spread terror as they rampage through our streets. I bet you didn't expect that mix. This is one of the choices that makes the film so unique. You see Hagen at his happiest and then subjected to all sorts of cruel punishments. Dog fighting, malnutrition, emotional and physical abuse. It makes you so sad and so angry. You desperately want him and Lili to find each other again. Instead (and you see this from the opening scene), it's as if everything Hagan has gone through - both good and bad - suddenly allows him to become self-aware so he can lead all of Hungary’s dogs into a full-blown rebellion. When it happens, you no longer know how to feel. If Lili’s pet finds its way back to her, who’s to say it won’t tear her throat out?
This is a hugely ambitious film. Most of the time, we are not following an actor who can deliver dialogue, it’s just Hagan or other dogs on-screen. We’re not used to seeing dogs this realistically. The scenes of violence may be too much for squeamish viewers, particularly those who love animals. Eventually, however, that discomfort goes away. This movie is simply too good for what is happening on-screen to be real. It HAD to be done using careful editing and expert animal training. There’s just no way anyone could’ve been lucky enough to capture what we see otherwise. This becomes most obvious when the tone turns from drama, to horror. The enormous pack of dogs running through the streets is the kind of sight that drains the blood from your face. An overpowering feeling of futility consumes you. More than the visuals, it’s the methodical, deliberate and malicious way the dogs get their revenge that makes you so uneasy.
Some aspects of the story are fairly easy to decipher. The relationship between Lili and her father, for example. Others, not so much. What is this movie really about? I’m not sure. For me, it generated the image of a beloved leader forced into exile by a coup. Away from the people who loved them, they suffer one tragedy after another. The abuse makes them grow bitter and resentful until they are consumed by hatred. When they inevitably return home, they've changed so drastically they're no longer the person the crowds wanted to welcome back. In fact, they've become worse than those who ousted them. There’s probably a message about racism somewhere too. The term White God, and the mixed-race dogs seems to point you towards this direction. Ultimately, you’ll have a great time figuring it out, if there is, indeed something to figure out.
White God drips with powerful emotions at both extremes of the spectrum. Superbly directed, it asks you to take a step back and examine what you’re seeing on-screen. This, combined with the subtitles means there are some who simply won’t have the patience for it. For everybody else, it’s an experience you won’t forget. (Original Hungarian with subtitles, August 16, 2019)

Cine al menguar la pandemia: Evolution
El ecosistema moral en el que vive y se desarrolla este nuevo drama de Kornél Mundruczó es de una densidad intimidante (la narrativa de los hechos y las circunstancias del antisemitismo es fuente inagotable) pero el director húngaro se las arregla para atildar su cinta con imágenes llenas de extraño misterio, y sabe además trazar una especie de línea de desfogue, que es como bocanada de aire fresco hacia el final de la historia.
Tumblr media
La verdad es que "Evolution", una obra dividida en tres piezas, inicia de una manera bastante insólita con el capítulo llamado "Ana", que narra cómo varios hombres buscan algo en un cuarto obscuro y sucio, que es como la cámara de exterminio en un campo de concentración. Hay una atmósfera de apremio, de terminación de plazo, y entre enormes y asquerosas madejas de cabellos que encuentran en los lugares mas inusitados, aparece también una niña, que sacan a toda prisa de ese ominoso lugar para salir directamente a una escena de la Segunda Guerra Mundial.
Luego en el capítulo "Lena", en una época más actual, dos mujeres judías discuten sobre ciertos documentos que la vieja no quiere entregar. Son madre e hija, y entre ellas se desarrolla un diálogo duro, doloroso, erizado y claridoso respecto a su relación y sus respectivos papeles en la vida, y las aclaraciones aciagas y los espeluznantes antecedentes salen a la luz en una escena casi teatral, que se resuelve con algo así como un diluvio en el interior de la casa, de naturaleza metafísica bastante sorprendente.
Tumblr media
Finalmente cierra con el capítulo "Jonas", una historia juvenil donde el director acierta en sus decisiones formales, especialmente en la posición y el movimiento de la cámara. Aquí Mundruczó describe a la "tercera generación" de esta saga de judíos representada por el joven Jonas, que con su toma de conciencia, con su rebeldía apaciguada pero viva al fin, con su promesa de convivencia, de relación, de fraternidad, de encontrar la fuerza para superar problemas a pesar de todo, dibuja un acento esperanzador y lúcido sobre lo que significa la identidad, y lo que podría considerarse como la auténtica evolución.

Mundruczó Kornél születésnapja
BG >Senki sem lehet próféta a saját hazájában? Ha Mundruczó Kornélra gondolunk, akkor sajnos igaz lehet ez a mondás. Ma ünnepli születésnapját a világhírű filmrendező, és a világhír nem túlzás. Itthon is megvan persze az a réteg, amelyik ismeri, sőt nagyon is elismeri a munkáját, mégsem kap már lehetőséget arra, hogy hatalmas kaliberű tehetségét a hazájában is kamatoztassa, cserébe az…
