Twilight (Szürkület)

A seasoned detective investigates a series of child murders, succumbing to an all-consuming and tragic obsession with the case, finding empty solace in his quest for vengeance. What emerges is not a crime story, but a harrowing venture through the darkness of the human soul. Twilight unfolds with breathtaking cinematography and haunting sound design, allowing the mystery to emerge in tantalisingly atmospheric and meditative fashion. Based on writings by Swiss author Friedrich Dürrenmatt - also the basis for Sean Penn's impressive 2001 film The Pledge starring Jack Nicholson - György Fehér's hypnotic, transcendent adaptation is a unique and haunting experience.
