In a large apartment in Hungary during the death throes of communism, obedient Andor lives with his eccentric mother, Rebeka, a once-celebrated stage actress-turned-recluse. After years of coexisting in a love-hate relationship marked by routine and possible incest, Andor brings home Eszter, a beautiful girl his own age. Her advances awaken Andor’s repressed desires, the depths of which prove shocking. |

Hooray! A new film to add to that long list of movies with titles that sound like something evil that Lovecraft might have come up with.
The title means “calm”, totally Lovecraftian. lol But the subject is dark and evil, showing the sadistic way Soviet Communism twisted it’s great talents into the dust, and it’s consequent collateral damage.
In a weird kind of way I do actually associate Lovecraft with ‘calm’ because my ex girlfriend bought me a cuddly plush toy Cthulhu for my birthday about two decades ago and I slept with it on my pillow for years. Think he saved me from quite a few nightmares. He was a cute little bugger but I must have lost him moving house one time. I miss him to be honest. He wasn’t quite as terrifying when he was only nine inches tall and smiling at you and really soft and snuggly. I will just stress here that there was no sex involved. Our relationship was way above any of that mucky stuff. That’s just really nasty and it’s unhygienic too. I will watch this film eventually. Got a hell of a long list of stuff to watch right now and there are only so many hours in a day.
Why are there so many films in Primewire that I want to see …but they have not been uploaded? I mean where do the trailer uploaders find the Trailer and find out about the films? I want to be that person ! To see all the movies before they come to the cinema or to get the pre watch cd before its even leased to the public ! Omg , id never see the light of day !
