04/01/06
Hypnotic, elliptical, often rapturously beautiful, the film is a testament to the much-maligned concept of art cinema, one that depends for its thrills on film's essentials as a visual and sonic medium.
12/05/03
Sparkling and thought-provoking, Hukkle is the cinematic equivalent of a puzzle box wrapped up in ethnic enigmas and rural riddles.
07/27/05
It's bracingly funny to see the glorious human species redefined as just another set of moving parts in a huge machine lacking any evident purpose.

Top CriticSome of the things encountered in Hukkle are brilliant cinematic conceits, which the director properly builds up to their punchline.
12/06/06
This almost wordless film is a unique excursion into fascinating territory.

You're in for an unforgettable experience, a microcosmic cornucopia of delights.

Top CriticCradling the natural setting, lingering on textures of cloth and bark and fingertip whorls, 'Hukkle' suggestively unravels its tale.
11/21/03
Hukkle plays like a relaxing visit to a foreign land.
06/24/03
At once impressive and indulgent, hypnotic and patience-inducing with its languorous rhythms.
12/18/03
What film is all about, but all too often isn't -- it challenges its audience to look at the world in a different way.
03/26/04
The picture is so completely detailed and precise in its depiction of pastoral beauty that, if you blink, you might well minimize--or miss--the murder that gradually darkens the story.
12/06/03
Deranging a venerable Hungarian tradition of 'village sociology,' Palfi employs a bizarrely associative montage to fashion a portrait of a traditional peasant community -- just a midsummer Sunday on Mars.
11/25/03
Top CriticOffers an alternately familiar and mystifying meditation on the age-old narrative technique of montage.
11/28/03
Top CriticA visual marvel that illustrates the beauty and terror of the natural world with unusual care.
07/08/03
Packs more bizarre ideas into its 75 minutes than most films do with two hours.
