Slow Film Series: Twilight
February 14 @ 7:00 pm – 8:30 pm
After discovering the murdered body of a young girl deep in a mountainous forest, a hardened homicide detective pushes himself to increasingly obsessive ends in his quest to catch the serial killer — known only as “The Giant” — responsible for the crime. A much admired but long unavailable masterpiece by influential Hungarian auteur and regular Béla Tarr collaborator György Fehér, Twilight (Szürkület) is at once an existential murder mystery and an expansive meditation on time and space.
(György Fehér, Hungary, 1990, Hungarian w/ Eng sub, 105 min, DCP)
The screening includes an introduction by Slow Film Series curator Jocelyn Szczepaniak-Gillece, Associate Professor of English and Film Studies, and Director of UWM’s Film Studies Program.
Free for members (Includes UWM students) $5 admission for all others.
This screening of György Fehér’s Twilight is part of C21’s Slow Film Series, featuring movies at Union Cinema throughout the chilly months of the fall and spring academic terms that invite you to chill out, cozy up, and contemplate the cinematic riches of slow-paced films.
