Egy Nap
One Day
Zsófia Szilágyi’s debut film One Day is a study in the purgatory of
motherhood and is riddled with the sound of children; of howling and the thumping of their bodies as they throw themselves
to the ground without mind or reason, the subsequent wailing, snuffling and sneezing, with laboured breathing through blocked
noses. Even in moments of respite – where Anna’s love for her children is clear – it’s still clear that she’s on duty. One
Day is a truly brilliant and original perspective on motherhood, a refusal to shy away from or prettify the gruelling work
that having children entails. (Another Gaze)
