The plot mechanism that links these ideas and images is, we'll just say, grossly misjudged.
It's a slow, quiet and beautifully composed story about human connection, or more specifically, the difficulty in finding it.
Morcsányi endows his character with the sad, lived-in expression of a man resigned to his drab routine, but it's breakout talent Borbély who truly emerges as the movie's star.
A rich and strange tale of thwarted sexuality that takes a tad too long to get to the point.
A determinedly eccentric but intermittently startling misfit romance that marks a singular return to feature filmmaking for Hungarian writer-director Ildikó Enyedi after an 18-year gap.
There is a real tinge of sadness to On Body and Soul, which serves as a quaint allegory on dating in the age of Tinder: a hint that visiting mysterious strangers in our dreams is at times as close we get to intimacy.
On Body And Soul becomes a deterministically romantic vision of love. Beautiful, but much like its snowy forest grove, ultimately empty.
On Body and Soul is the power of dreams manifested, mixed with crushing reality of languid love, an emotion with as many mixed signals as the fantasies they're meant to evoke.
Partially shot in a real slaughterhouse, the film is visually and conceptually both beautiful and viscerally sickening, a fascinating exploration of loneliness and attention in an unusual environment.
It's a love story and one of the most startling, original, and poised films of the year.
Undeniably fresh; if it's a rom-com, it's unlike any you've seen ... perhaps the film is, indeed, courageous and a little cutting-edge. Whatever. It's heart-warming, uplifting, funny and different. And that's more than enough.
Call this an extreme rom-com... finely crafted and utterly mesmerising.
With an exquisite direction, impeccable performances and an absolutely wonderful screenplay, this profoundly sensitive and unconventional love story uses a lot of humor to depict in a most irresistible way the discovery of love by two lonely, introspective people.
