HUKKLE
Thursday & Friday, April 15 & 16 -- 7pm & 9pm

A visual feast from Hungary.
A visually elegant, aurally rich, narratively confounding murder mystery, "Hukkle" (which means "hiccup" in Hungarian) takes place in a rural village somewhere in Palfi's native country, where farmers and seamstresses and their children go about their days in soft-spoken, often silent drudgery… Hypnotic, elliptical, often rapturously beautiful, the film is a testament to the much-maligned concept of art cinema, one that depends for its thrills on film's essentials as a visual and sonic medium.
