Angyali Ŭdvözlet (in English: The Annunciation) is a Hungarian film directed by András Jeles in 1984, based on The Tragedy of Man by Imre Madách.
[edit] Plot summary
When Adam (Péter Bocsor) and Eve (Júlia Mérö), having succumbed to Lucifer's temptation and are cast out of the Garden of Eden, Adam holds Lucifer (Eszter Gyalog) to his promise: "You said I would know everything!"; so Lucifer, in return, grants Adam a dream of the world to come. And what a bizarre dream: Adam becomes Miltiades in Athens; a knight called Tancred in Byzantium; Kepler in Prague; Danton in revolutionary Paris; and a nameless suitor in Victorian London. Guided by a deceptively sweet, ultimately contemptuous Lucifer, Adam confronts an endless procession of rapists and concubines, betrayal and savagery, mindless cruelty and fanaticism.
Superbly photographed against the breathtaking fields, forests, mesas and shores of southern Hungary, colourfully costumed and stunningly acted, The Annunciation makes Pasolini-like uses of its youthful cast to illustrate the horror and irrationality of our times.
