Daazo.com Shows Hungarian Palme d'Or Winners
Daazo's offering includes such rarities as the experimental film Overture which won the Palme d'Or in 1965. In the film, János Vadász used intimate close-ups to show a chick hatching from an egg. The poetic images are accompanied by Beethoven's Egmont Overture.
Marcell Jankovics, who emerged as a major talent among a new generation of Hungarian animators, took the Palme d'Or for his film Fight in 1977. It used very simple visual effects to draw, quite literally, the struggle between a sculptor and his sculpture.
Béla Vajda's film Moto Perpetuo, which won the Palme d'Or in 1981, is adapted from the Hungarian author István Örkény's collection of absurd One-minute Stories.
Marcell Iványi's Wind, a single take in black and white inspired by Lucien Hervé's Three Women, won the prize in 1996.
Péter Mészáros's After Rain, a montage of a bicycle ride, took the Palme d'Or in 2002.
