Own Death
(Saját halál)
feature, video, 118 minutes
PREMIER (HUNGARY): 2007.
"Dying is a tough job, especially when one has to finish urgently some galley proofs. Péter Nádas evoked this brilliantly in his short novel Own Death. This has now an equally brilliant equivalent in the imagery Péter Forgács designed for it. Hardly ever since Marguerite Duras' India Song has the collaboration between the literary and the cinematic been so successful as in this Forgács film of the Nádas story."
Peter Delpeut
Based on Péter Nádas' Own Death
