- Quotes
Gizella: [Narrating; scene shows her being lowered into a "therapy" tank of water at the asylum] I'll have you know that I am an arm of your God. God herself. I was the first living being. My upper part is the fiery sun, in the rays of which live the Souls of the Dead. The Sun is God itself. The Sun shoots off millions and millions of electric beams. Initially, as I became conscious, I started to revolve around myself. While circulating, an immense heat developed and compressed itself to Earth. This is how I created the Earth and the stars. I took God's name, but Evil resides in my cells. Yes, Evil is reigning over the world.
Gizella: [Still narrating, as she is re-submerged in the therapy tank] I have an arm for every person through which I govern the world. These invisible arms arrange people's fate, their every step and smallest action. I'm an arm of your God.
This movie is beautifully made, with brilliant acting and lots of atmosphere, but it is not an "entertainment." The two people in this movie feel a need to create and to connect, but these acts do not "redeem" them. This movie is about insanity, addiction, and human frailty, and should not be approached casually.
I watched the film in the original Magyar, with English subtitles, but there appears to be an English-dubbed version as well, in which the multilingual lead actor provides his own voice.
