HU. A rendező gyermekekkel játszatja el a madáchi drámát. A szabad, elvadult természetbe helyezett látomásszerű, a látvány szintjén is egymáshoz kapcsolódó bibliai és történelmi színekben a gyermek Ádám a gyermek Luciferrel végigjárja a tudás megszerzésének történetét, az emberiség történelmét. A Paradicsomból való kiűzetéstől kezdve a történelmi korokat, az egyes korokon belül a haladásnak, a virágzásnak, a hanyatlásnak fázisait a tézis-antitézis-szintézis dialektikája szerint élik át, csak a helyszín állandósága mond ennek ellent. Az eszkimóvilág után önmagát elpusztítani akaró Ádámot a gyermek Éva szavai megállítják: az emberben él az esély a folytatásra. Az Úr szavára felfelé tekintő gyermekpár mögött azonban ott a Halál.
EN. The Annunciation (in Hungarian: Angyali üdvözlet) is a Hungarian film directed by András Jeles in 1984, based on The Tragedy of Man (1861) by Imre Madách.
This is a surreal account of the history of humanity as portrayed entirely by children between the ages of 8 and 12. The film begins with the biblical story as Adam (Péter Bocsor) and Eve (Júlia Mérö), are deceived by Lucifer (Eszter Gyalog) -- three very photogenic leads - into tasting the "Forbidden Fruit". They are thus chased out of the Garden of Eden by the Angel of Death and, in a vision, sent on an existential journey through western European history.
Always followed closely and influenced by the deceptively sweet, but contemptuous Lucifer, we follow Adam through The Plague, wars, Byzantium's wretched cripples, the French Revolution, the squalor of Dickensian London, and a final return to the scene of the crucifixion. Of course the picture makes a case for its premise - that of the consequences of Original Sin -- yet does so in a very unique way. In the closing scene, Lucifer says, "Why did I strive to achieve greatness in man, who is...in knowlege a pygmy, in blindness a giant?" This reflects the somewhat nihilistic view of a nation still under the boot of Soviet communism.
This rare movie may be one of the best (and only child-starred) art films ever.
