Let's be realistic.

I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

A film of deceptively outspoken contemporary relevance, this is cinema at its most alert, alarming and alive.

One of those movie experiences that is so good it makes you realize you've been grading everything else on a curve.

This was an interesting movie until the director thought it necessary to kill animals. It began with an interesting reliance on sound without dialogue. Mostly pastoral scenes with older folks - men with gin blossomed noses proliferated. It seemed like this film would continue in the vein of Bela Tarr and other Hungarian directors. Instead, it made a wrong turn. The director decided that he needed a little more reality. That added reality took the form of animal abuse. Not a new idea: Bunuel abused animals in some of his films, and a neo-realist Italian film whose name escapes me showed villagers torturing a pig as the director filmed it as an amoral and passive journalist. This film goes even further though. The director actually has at least one animal poisoned for the sake of a large;y absent plot line. But, it would not matter if the plot line was profound. Killing animals for the sake of a move is disgusting.

An eerie, nearly silent presentation of life in an anonymous Hungarian village caught between the timeless traditions of old and emerging new technology: this dichotomy is shown sensitively and in symbiotic relationship: the new technology seems to enhance rather than destroy or clash with traditional social mores. Whilst none of the characters ever ostensibly talk, there is always a background buzz of everyday sounds which paint a fulsome audio picture of village life, as it unfolds through the goalposts of every human existence: birth, childhood, wedding and death: all sequences which are portrayed sympathetically with respect to the local meme.

This movie is amazing - amazingly incoherent, that is. Every scene plays like one from a completely different movie, and although certain characters reappear, what connection is intended to be inferred is left up to interpretation. We wander from point to point with absolutely no idea of why, and as it becomes more and more ridiculous (there is a scene straight out of The Matrix, complete with outdated special effects), one can do nothing but stare at the absurdity of it all.Don't get me wrong - the lack of a story or of dialogue doesn't per se bother me much, it's just that Hukkle tries way to hard to not only be beautiful but also meaningful, and utterly fails. It is pretentious and unsatisfying. Watch it only if you're in need of a good laugh.

Well, this is something truly original. And I mean it in every possible positive way. Nothing but a praise for a director who gave us some amazing and spectacular directing. Cinematography itself is a pure piece of art, something very rarely seen on screen. "Hukkle" is cinematic experience that looks like the greatest (mute) documentary ever put on celluloid, but if you concentrate just a little more, you'll notice that this is actually a serial killer thriller... Not just a surprise of the year, but maybe the best movie of the year.
