Spring Quarter Central European Film 1968-present: Time Stands Still (Megáll az idö)

Directed by Péter Gothár, Hungary, 1982. A film which evokes as much about the pop culture and youthful rebellion of Hungary in the 60s as the political era which frames its story. We follow the exploits of two teenage brothers who use rock music and blue suede fashion to resist the censorship and hypocrisy of their school, as well as the universally suffocating condition of adolescence. The mood of political cynicism infused with nostalgia is brilliantly captured by the great cinematographer Lajos Koltai.
