So much to write about. So many different feelings about Hungary, the transition, the memories the near future. Just one day at a time. I come here to slow down. To breathe in the fresh air heavy with the smell of nature. Flowers in the flowerbeds. To hide under the threes and enjoy the cooling shadows of the early summer.
I watched The Door with an old friend. Helen Mirren gave the best performance I have ever seen. It was refreshing to see a movie without clichés. The relationship between Magda Szabo probably the most famous Hungarian writer of the 20th century and her maid Emerence is a truly capturing movie directed by Istvan Szabo. To me the character of Eemerence is an allegory of Hungary. How many times have we been misunderstood and it still carries on today.
