On Body and Soul

Ildiko Enyedi · 2017 CE · Film · Hungarian · Contemporary

The financial director of a Budapest abattoir and its new quality inspector, both solitary in ways that make ordinary contact hard, discover during a workplace psychological assessment that they have been having the same dream every night: they are two deer in a snowbound wood, finding food. Awake, neither knows how to be touched. The killing floor is filmed without flinching alongside it.
