Product Description

Hungarian director György Pálfi's debut is a mesmerizing symphony of sight and sound that chronicles a series of mysterious interconnected events both idyllic and sinister. From an elderly man's hiccup (or hukkle) to a microscopically observed menagerie of animals, Hukkle lovingly magnifies the little moments of a summer day that usually pass unnoticed. With minimum dialogue, Hukkle brims with subtle secrets waiting to be unlocked and etches a quirky portrait of a rustic village where things are not what they seem.

    Very good movie, it is amazing the when the director made this movie he was only 27. If you are tired with Hollywood, try some different European films.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Original and Challenging Film
    Reviewed in the United States on June 3, 2007
    An old man has the hiccups. A mole digs underground. A family sit down to a meal. An old woman tends her garden. A pig's enormous testicles. Hukkle contains a series of images (both beautiful and disturbing) with no dialogue, and no apparent connection. The film challenges you to construct your own narrative.

    The film portrays a day in the life of a rural village in Hungary. The images could be simple snapshots of the everyday lives of typical villagers -- or they could be clues to a sinister and disturbing mystery. Throughout the film, the viewer will be challenged to assemble the pieces, but nothing is revealed until the very end.

    Be prepared to watch the film at least twice, since you will be completely lost during the first viewing.

    In my opinion, Hukkle is one of the most original films I have every seen, and among the very best films of the last several years.

    4.0 out of 5 stars See it for its originality in film!
    Reviewed in the United States on September 2, 2010
    Hukkle, with the definition meaning hiccups in Hungarian, is a most original film that features no dialogue. Although the film looks simple with villagers going about with their daily chores in their often picturesque tight community, keep a close watch on the goings on, because that is where the theme of the movies lies. Most likely, it will take a second viewing, because during the first, the mind is set on the beauty of nature, the artistic close-ups of plant life, insects, machinery, memorable faces, the numerous animals, ducks, moles, pigs, sheep, and probably a heartwrentching visual is of a kitten who is having some kind of spasmodic attack that precedes death. However, wait....in the commentary with subtitles, the director did not film a kitten dying, but merely a kitten sedated.

    Another reason why this may need a second viewing is because it is difficult to figure out what is the plot or storyline. Why are we always seeing people eat? pigs mate? microscopic shots of insects? plants bloom, people working, a cop taking a leak, a mole underground? the mixer grinding of a meal? And of course what is the deal with an old man with hiccups, who during the entire film sits and observes while the hiccups take hold of him?

    Hidden between all these shots is a murder story that the viewer needs to struggle to figure out, but pay attention, the signs are there. But you will notice a cop doing an investigation and of course a larger clue, a dead man in the pit of the pond. Is it murder?

    I don't know if one can come away with all the answers needed, as it is a film that one can just view for its originality. Like any village, the slice of life aspect is intriguing. One can view it as the cycle of life, creatures large and small, life and death, etc.

    The DVD provides a commentary with subtitles, but don't expect many clues to what the film is about, but there are a few. The commentary is an understanding on the mechanics of filmmaking such as the sedation of the kitten, how to get a jet to zoom under a bridge, when to film the hot in heat for the right moment, the method of filming a mole, a snake, evolving plants, etc.

    Again, whatever you take from this film is good, you don't need to have all the answers, but mostly, take it for its originality and uniqueness in filmmaking .......Rizzo

    4.0 out of 5 stars Quirky, one-of-a-kind film
    Reviewed in the United States on May 21, 2006
    There's no dialogue in this short (75-minute) feature film, set in the small village of Ozora, Hungary. The title is Hungarian slang for hiccup, and the film starts with an old man (pictured on the cover of the DVD) doing just that.

    The old man sits in the same place during the entire film, doing nothing but hiccuping and watching as events transpire around him including two funeral processions, the passing through of a supersonic fighter jet, the discovery of what appears to be a murdered inhabitant of the village, and other things as well.

    A complex film, Hukkle integrates views of nature (extreme close-ups of moles, frogs, rabbits, snakes, fish, birds, cats, and insects) with daily village life including a primitive form of bocce, fish poaching, eating a group meal, working at various trades, and an old woman out harvesting some type of plant(s).

    Pay careful attention, because there are ostensibly clues along the way as to the reason for the dead body (although personally, I found it tough to locate those clues).

    There are flashes of surrealism as well. In one scene, a man parts a hanging set of multiple filmstrips (of the film we are watching)--rather than beads or fabric--to enter a room. In another, the inner skeletal workings of the jaws and head are revealed as a man eats his dinner.

    There's a nice set of extras here including a 'Making of' featurette, deleted scenes, and director commentary. The film has won several awards and is definitely a unique experience, setting it apart from the works of the other two notable Hungarian film makers, Bela Tarr and Istvan Szabo.

    Definitely recommended.

    Hukkle ist ein Krimi der besonderen Art- in dem Film wird so gut wie kein Wort gesprochen, es ist daher auch komplett egal, in welcher Sprache er gedreht wurde, Synchronisation unnötig. Der Film besticht nicht nur, aber vor allem durch die tolle Regie und Kamera, profitiert von einer Menge interessanter visueller Einfälle und den super (auch Laien) Schauspielern. Der Film ist weitab von jeglichem Mainstream ein Juwel der Filmkunst. Durchgezeichnete Charaktere, eine spannende Story, tolle Bilder. Empfehlenswert.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Pas besoin de connaître le hongrois, art du cinéma
    Reviewed in France on September 17, 2012
    Verified Purchase
    Un film extrêmement bien fait en termes de bande son et d'images
    (pour titiller : seul l'avion sous le pont est un peu discutable).

    Ce n'est pas nécessaire de connaître le hongrois puisqu'il n'y a pas
    de dialogue, seulement un chant à un moment.
    Ce film traite du non-vu, en l'occurence avec l'eutanasie
    discrète de maris mais ce ne sont pas les meurtres en tant que tels
    qui sont importants à mon avis mais plutôt le rythme, l'ambiance,
    le sournois du quotidien, montré par les images et en particulier
    les animaux et le vieux monsieur, et enfin le décalage dans une même époque.

    Guten Tag,
    es kommt selten vor, dass Ware so ohne Verzug versendet wird, noch dazu in einem sauberen und gut beschrifteten Umschlag.
    Das allein ist schon 'Sterne' wert. Aber auch das Produkt ist voll und ganz zu meiner Zufriedenheit ausgefallen.
    Da macht online-kaufen wieder Freude.
