Each shot is its own little miracle.
88
One of the most original and stylish films to come along this year.
80
More than a slight, pleasant oddity, Hukkle shows Pálfi's keen attunement to the sensual possibilities, both in nature and in cinema.
75
Unclassifiable and wildly original, it is almost wordless but teeming with sound.
75
A film driven by an elusive plot buried like a cryptogram under the action. It's a delightfully screwy ethnographic murder mystery, beautifully photographed in translucent naturalistic color.
70
Deranging a venerable Hungarian tradition of "village sociology," Pálfi employs a bizarrely associative montage to fashion a portrait of a traditional peasant community -- just a midsummer Sunday on Mars.
60
The film is ultimately too self-regarding, too smug to be transcendent itself.

A very interesting and atypical film. You could call it avant-garde, but it also has a lot in common with old silent films. There is no real narrative, and no dialogue, althou there is a song near the end. A few characters appear and go about their business, but so do frogs, factories, farmers, surprising effects, etc. Through creative editing, a picture of a small Hungarian town emerges.
