- Synopsis:
- A group of friends on the cusp of adulthood gather to spend a carefree day sunbathing, swimming and flirting at the riverside. When one disappears, a frantic search begins - and recriminations ensue - exposing the underlying rivalries, class divisions, and sexual tensions between them. Often cited as the first film of the Hungarian New Wave, Istvan Gaal's beautifully-shot debut contemplates the transience of youth and the impermanence of memory. Echoing Antonioni's 'L'Awentura' and Kurosawa's 'Rashomon', 'Current' is a haunting existential drama that announced a new generation in Hungarian cinema.
