Film / Tejút

Tejút is a Hungarian film from 2007 consisting of a series of sublime silent shorts, each presented as static Oners. Themes highlighted throughout these delicate little vignettes include life, death, sex, time, nature, whimsy, abduction, and anything else you can think of which befalls the inhabitants of this good Earth.

Given that the title is Hungarian for "Milky Way," the film's pace and depth of metaphor are appropriately galactic.

This film provides examples of:

• Girl in a Box: A deeply moving example.
• Leave the Camera Running: Each segment is filmed this way.
• Parental Abandonment
• Silence Is Golden: No score, no dialogue, only incidental sounds.
• Two-Person Pool Party: Any other movie would have included a fist bump afterward.
