- Synopsis:
- Huszarik's second and final feature is a dazzlingly inventive portrait of the artist Tivadar Csontvary Kosztka (Itschak Fintzi). Now regarded as Hungary's greatest painter, the devout Csontvary was driven to madness by his impulse to express the fullness of God's creation, whilst battling his own very human frailties. This creative conflict is reflected in the film's dual narrative structure, which blurs the boundary between the lead actor and the role he plays. Rich with symbolism, the film is a vivid expression of an artist's impulse to create - and their facility to destroy.
