Pheasant Tomorrow

1974 · 77 min

A strange, quietly unsettling parable that drifts between deadpan comedy and creeping dread as an idyll is invaded.

Overview: The loving couple of this grotesque parable parody of the Kádár-regime, Mária and István row to an uninhabited, idyllic island. Soon crazy tent-pitchers swarm to the island, led by an official representative of the regime.
How it feels: Satirical, absurd, dark and eerie. Measured and needs your attention.
About: Politics, freedom, isolation, power
Content: Mild violence, sexual content and language. No gore.
