Szindbád
''Szindbád'' (also known as ''Szinbád'' / ''Sindbad'' /''Sinbad'') is a 1971 Hungarian film directed by Zoltán Huszárik, and based on short stories by the writer Gyula Krúdy. Plot The film opens with a sequence of fleeting images - the stamens of a flower, drops of oil on water, glowing embers, a spider's web, a strand of blonde hair, a leaf frozen in the ice, rain dripping from a wooden roof, etc. - each of which will subsequently be linked to one of Szindbád's memories of his love affairs. We then see the body of the dead or dying Szindbád lying in a cart drawn by a horse through the countryside, where nobody any longer seems interested in him. A voiceover (of Szindbád) then introduces a stream of memories, often disconnected and unchronological, of the many women who have been the focus of his life. Cast * Zoltán Latinovits, as Szindbád * Margit Dajka, as Majmunka * Éva Ruttkai, as Lenke Production The central figure of Szindbád, although his name makes reference ...
