Snagging a special mention after a premiere in Un Certain Regard at the 2013 Cannes Film Festival (where it received a commendation from the Ecumenical jury), actress Valeria Golino’s directorial debut Honey played to generally warm reception and even snagged seven David di Donatello Award nods (but went home empty handed). A limited theatrical in the Us in March of 2014 didn’t seem to attract much of a response, unfortunate considering Golino has made quite an expressive and enjoyable film, perhaps lost in a sea of strong titles coming out of Italy over the past two years that seem to have saturated conversation.
Golino hinges an intriguing character study around the thorny topic of euthanasia, with her directorial debut. Jasmine Trinca stars as an assisted suicide activist, a beautiful harbinger of oblivion, and it would seem that death certainly becomes her in this meditative tale that avoids polemics in favor of self-discovery and exploration.

Helps the Medicine Go Down: Golino’s Winning, Striking Debut
Actress Valeria Golino hinges an intriguing character study around the thorny topic of euthanasia, with her directorial debut, Honey. Jasmine Trinca stars as an assisted suicide activist, a beautiful harbinger of oblivion, and it would seem that death certainly becomes her in this meditative tale that avoids polemics in favor of self-discovery and exploration. Light in narrative events, choosing to focus instead on her protagonist’s work interactions, which are always conveyed with a muted, yet respectful empathy, Golino’s film is an adept and engrossing debut, enhanced by a hypnotizing soundtrack and striking visuals.
Irene (Jasmine Trinca), masquerades as Honey, an operative in a secret ring of professionals that specialize in assisted suicide with terminally ill patients. She gets her assignments from her ex-lover (Libero Di Rienzo), a hospital physician. It’s Irene/Honey’s job to meet with...

Final Cut – Ladies & Gentlemen – György Pálfi
Buzz: Once upon a time, György Pálfi made a splash at the Toronto International Film Festival with an elegant, plotless film called Hukkle. When he followed it up with the divisive but still acclaimed Taxidermia, all of a sudden Béla Tarr wasn’t the only active Hungarian filmmaker that your Average Joe cinephile could name off the top of his head. A few years passed, he whiffed big time with I am Not Your Friend, and now a few more years have past. György who?? That this newest work has been relegated to the Closing Night duties of the Cannes Classics sidebar hopefully won’t deter too many from giving it a fair shot, because at the very least, it’s already confirmed that this very talented man is continuing to push himself in new, experimental directions with his work, refusing to go with...

[Our thanks to Joshua Chaplinksy for the following review.]
György Pálfi, the man responsible for the subdued murder mystery Hukkle, and the grotesque, Eastern Bloc artistry of Taxidermia, returns with I Am Not Your Friend, a Soderberghian exercise in low budget improvisation.
The film follows a small group of strangers living in Budapest as they lie, cheat, breakup, makeup and deceive; their lives interweaving with one another like Paul Haggis' Crash. The level of coincidence on display in Friend rivals that film, but this is not meant as fodder for Haggis detractors. The tone of Palfi's film is darkly comic, and his choice of subject matter not nearly as heavy handed.
The Soderbergh comparison is a more appropriate one. Palfi has established himself as something of a chameleon, producing three very different films in his short career. But unlike similar Soderbergh creations (Bubble, The Girlfriend Experience,) I Am Not Your Friend cannot be faulted as emotionally distant, even...

You have to say this for Hungary’s György Pálfi: though e’s just three films into his career, Pálfi has already established himself as one of the most diverse and unpredictable film makers in the world. With his first film, Hukkle, Pálfi laid out a nearly dialogue free murder mystery, punctuated only by the rhythms of the lead character’s hiccups. He followed that with Taxidermia, one of the most bizarre and disturbing and completely unclassifiable films to appear on the scene in years. And for film number three? Pálfi has come up with I Am Not Your Friend, a largely improvisational and workshopped picture developed in close collaboration with the actors and shot in a style completely at odds with Pálfi’s normal, highly structured style.
Sára loves Márk. They are going to have a baby. Márk also loves Sára - in his own way. Márk loves Sophie too.

BUDAPEST -- Gyorgy Palfi's Taxidermia won the 100,000 ($120,000) main prize at the closing late Tuesday of Hungary's 37th annual film week. The 90-minute feature, by writer-director Palfi -- whose first feature was the acclaimed Hukkle (2002) -- follows the strange and disturbing stories of a grandfather, father and son, each of whom are dominated by disturbing obsessions. Equally divided into three parts, the film -- which won a Sundance/NHK script-development prize several years ago -- runs chronologically from World War II to the late 1980s and does not shy away from violent and at times pornographic imagery.
