- Synopsis
- Whatever happened to butterflies in the stomach, fluttering eyelids and quivering lips' Truth be told, you’d be hard-pressed to find old-school romance in any of György Pálfi’s films, but his latest offering goes above and beyond in terms of his unwavering commitment to innovation.Throwing nine attractive bodies together for the space of twenty long days, György Pálfi (Taxidermia, Hukkle) let them ad lib with abandon for the sake of art. What he got in return was impermanency, instability and bland emotional immaturity. In other words, what he got was reality. Though this provocative little package could easily have stumbled into emotional chaos, it is held together by a single concept: the determination to sustain individuality. Every choice made, every kiss exchanged is a statement of absolute liberty. Faced with an ever-evolving pattern of relationships, Pálfi allows his usually stylized visuals to dissolve in favour of an impulsive carnality that deserves to be depicted as it really is: raw, driving and not nearly picture-perfect. I Am Not Your Friend gives us a cynical mosaic of emotional alienation made in the freedom of total improvisation. The result is a truly boundary-pushing feature from this already iconic filmmaker.
I AM NOT YOUR FRIEND is a film of improvisations - not only from the part of the nine amateur actors, but from the D.O.P, the director and the scriptwriters as well. The story unfolded itself instantly by the reactions and ideas of actors during the 20 days of shooting and developed into what is presented to the audience. But the story perhaps is less important than the world which opens up in front of us, a taste of Budapest in January 2008.- Movie Soulmates' ratings
