Loosely adapted from (which also inspired Sean Penn’s 2001 film), this is one of only two feature films completed by the late Hungarian director and Bela Tarr collaborator György Fehér. Set in a heavily forested region of northern Hungary, it centres on Felügyelo (Peter Haumann), a detective on the eve of retirement attempting to track down a child killer. Shot in long takes and murky monochrome, it practically dispenses with plot, offering instead a well-sustained - if somewhat oppressive - mood of hopeless foreboding.
