Crazy Tale – Puszta Ballad | film screening and conversation with Zoltán Bicskei
Inspired by András Berecz, Crazy Tale – Puszta Ballad comes to the Fonó: before the film screening, we speak with filmmaker Zoltán Bicskei.
The village fool, the story's main character, is driven out onto the puszta by his own village. His crime is great: not only does he hold up a mirror, but he stubbornly clings to the paradisiacal world of childhood, to the true Eden of carefree play, to the sandy banks of the Tisza.
While in the village there is only "money, money, money" and the "teeming penny-dreadfuls" swaggering about, the Fool, called Nag, is still driven by play out on the puszta, but he is caught up in his fate by the simpleton Little Fool and the vagrant wretched woman, Lófrarozi.
The village tries to drive Nag and his ward, Little Fool, even further away from the puszta, fearing his unpredictability and miraculous powers. But the seemingly empty puszta is full – and even a real miracle unfolds…
All of this takes place in the Southern Great Plain, seen through the eyes of the lowlands.
