Sára Cserhalmi : 2012
Drága besúgott barátaim
Andor Czettl, in his early sixties, visits the declassified Communist archives one day to read the reports filed about him by the secret police. To his surprise he discovers that even his best friend János Pásztor informed against him, for decades. Focusing on the contradictory relationship of the two protagonists rather than the bare act of the problem, the film reflects on those chapters of Hungary's recent past that are still unclear. How can an informer live with himself? How can the one who was reported on cope with this state? Can a close friendship that began decades ago last if such betrayal comes to light? This disturbing psychological drama confronts a sensitive topic from the not-too-distant past that Hungary has yet to give due attention, bravely asking unpleasant questions but avoiding absolute judgements. Sára Cserhalmi's debut feature was winner of the Competition 1-2 Award at Warsaw International Film Festival 2012.
