Milky Way (Tejut): 2007, 82 min.
by Benedek Fliegauf


Mise-en-scene triumphs in Milky Way by cult Hungarian filmmaker Benedek Fliegauf ("Forest," "Dealer"). Winner of Locarno's Filmmakers of the Present competition, Milky Way is comprised of nine beautifully composed, fixed takes of landscapes in which people and objects move within—as well as in and out of—the frame. A self-described "ambient movie", Milky Way offers a mini-narrative that is surprising, funny, mysterious and poignant. The film’s carefully crafted soundscape by Beke Tam is as important as the visuals.
