MOLE

MOLE (VAKOND), 1987
Hungary | DCP, Siyah-Beyaz, 70’ | Hungarian
Director: Ildikó Enyedi

Enyedi’s first feature-length film, Mole is an adaptation of the novel The Invention of Morel by Adolfo Bioy Casares. Mole is a fantastic and romantic film about an agent trying to understand the lives of people on planet Earth. While trying to make sense of the daily lives of people, the agent, who must stay unnoticed by virtue of his duty, is bothered by the fact that he isn’t getting anyone's attention and wishes to become one of them. Once we realize that life on earth is an illusion, we embark on a journey between dream and reality inside this agent's world. Enyedi creates a universe at the end of the 1980s, where politics does not exist; life consists of daily routines, and time functions cyclically.
