Analysis


Lovefilm uses cinematic imagery to approach the unspoken and untold aspects of love and hope between individuals. It depicts love between two childhood sweethearts who continue to share strong bond and friendship through their adulthood though they quite do not define it as a love relationship for the most part. They continue to refer to their relation as friends or childhood friendship or even introduce each other to their friends as 'like my brother' and 'like my sister'. The film's editing is non-linear and has constant transitions back and forth between images of childhood memories during World War II Nazi occupied Hungary and the Soviet communist party controlled 1950s schooling and the early 1960s university days. It also echoes the tense times of 1956 in Hungary and the feeling of nostalgia in the early 1970s.
