Twilight (Feher, 1990): BFI Southbank, NFT3, 6.20pm


This is the latest film in the excellent new 'Restored' strand at BFI Southbank and will be introduced by Jason Wood, BFI Executive Director of Public Programmes and Audiences.

BFI introduction:
Recently unearthed by connoisseur label Second Run and presented in a 4K restoration supervised by cinematographer Miklós Gurbán, Twilight may be the most transcendent cinematic discovery of the year. Based on a novel by Swiss author Friedrich Dürrenmatt, it’s a harrowing psychological drama in which a veteran detective allows his hunt for a child murderer to become an obsession. Incredibly haunting and atmospheric (and that’s just the hypnotic sound design), it’s directed with taut precision by György Fehér, a long-time associate of Béla Tarr.

Here (and above) is the trailer.
