Ich denke oft an Piroschka

  • Warm, funny and sad remembrance of young love

    In 1925 a young german student comes to a small town in Hungary for vacation.

    He falls in love with the young daughter (Piroschka) of the railwaystation officer who herself uninhibitedly loves him.

    Complications arise as he already had started a relation with a german girl shortly before arriving in Hungary.

    He has to decide and goes all-in for Piroschka, but being hurt she refuses him.

    On the final day of his vacation she finally meets him again and goes into huge troubles to keep him in Hungary, but the vacation is over .... (I won't spoiler the end).

    This is told in a very warm, romantic and lighthearted way, as the story is narrated by the student himself, but 30 years later, as he remembers Piroschka (hence the title). The movie is very open about that his memories are - well - veiled by romantic interpretation, as mostly the visuals don't match his voice-over narration.

    Matching the light-hearted and naive tone of his memories, the movie itself is kept simple, but in a very clever way.

    Acting is good, but Liselotte Pulver stands out as the young, full-blooded Piroschka, with her face really reflecting the force of her emotions. She plays for laughs but beneath that you always see the truth shining through.

    The movie is the greatest statement of young, uninhibited love and devotion you will find. It's funny, sad warm and overall pleasant.

    I wonder if the movie was released in Hungary and how it was received there as it is overall very positive about the Hungarians.

    And as the movie is based on the real recollections of the author, I wonder (like so many) whatever happened to Piroschka.

    If you've ever fallen in love as a student on vacation with a local girl, this is the movie for you.

    This review is based on the viewing of a restored print in 2022.
