Técnicamente, Jupiter’s Moon es un triunfo absoluto, excelentemente elaborada, con una cámara perfecta y una estilización artística. Combina las películas criminales estadounidenses de los 70 y ciencia ficción moderna a la Chronicle, Hijos de los hombres y Origen, pero sigue siendo una película húngara. Una gran introducción con una redada contra inmigrantes ilegales, varias escenas de acción y escape excelentes y un tema notable pero no pueden ocultar lo inconcluso de la historia, quien se enreda en un círculo y se convierte en un enriquecido comentario social sobre la crisis de los refugiados que combina de alguna manera analogías religiosas innecesarias. Aun así, este es otro ejemplo del desmedido crecimiento del cine húngaro en los últimos años.

Un Origen húngaro, sobre un médico con mala conciencia, un malvado policía anti-refugiados y un joven e inmortal refugiado de Siria que puede volar. No es arte y es tan estúpido como parece. Incluye una fascinante persecución en coche a través de Budapest a primera hora de la mañana. Una rareza de género formalmente ambiciosa con un contenido emocional y semánticamente disfuncional, que en su conjunto no será apreciada ni por los que ansían efectos y acción, ni por los filósofos que disfrutan con los temas existenciales. Quieren ir a festivales y a Hollywood, pero para mí se queda en la caseta del langos.

Jupiter’s Moon is a major surprise, primarily because a person from Eastern Europe definitely would not expect a film of such rank. The film is not a committed festival darling as the premise may suggest, but rather has the most in common with the ambitious Hollywood overground. It unavoidably brings to mind Children of Men, with which its Hungarian equivalent shares not only plot motifs, but also a formal sweep and breathtaking production. With the aid of brilliantly conceived long shots with complicated camera movements and epic mise-en-scène, Mundruczó, like Cuarón, creates a pulsating image of the world, which serves as an attractive realistic framework for the fantastic plot. Both films tell variations of archetypal stories, but while the American project helps the archetype gain new emotionality and urgency, the Hungarian film brings a degree of morality with social and religious levels to the formula of a “Hollywood” story of awakening and salvation. Another analogy is Luc Besson’s work in the 1990s, which Jupiter’s Moon evokes primarily with its colour palette and overall style. However, whereas Besson placed genre-specific characters in outlandish non-genre-specific environments and situations, Mundruczó puts flawed, doubtful and egocentric non-genre-specific protagonists into larger-than-life genre-specific situations. Concurrently, when considering the context of the Hungarian reality with real refugees at the border and a polarised society, it is not easy to determine where Jupiter’s Moon falls on the scale of commercial art. However, it unambiguously provides overwhelming proof of the vitality of Hungarian cinema. If in previous years Czech criticism used it as a contrast for taking the measure of Czech production, it is now proving to be something completely unattainable for both local filmmakers and institutions. Jupiter’s Moon is an engaging spectacle that addresses the themes of its own festival-film production. With its sweeping nature, it also liberates the reality of refugees from the usual understanding offered by the media and brings forth a devastating catharsis of its incomprehensible monstrousness.

It's fascinating how many people can't find an excellent story unless a film explicitly tells them that it's telling one. In Jupiter's Moon there are dozens of suggestions and ideas in virtually every one of its long, incredibly composed takes. Yet nothing in it begs for your sympathy, the characters are confused, jaded, corrupt, and selfish, the refugee issue is not viewed in a purely one-sided way (we even get a terrorist attack), and it doesn't give answers. Only a vision of a torn, sodden continent, devoid of miracles, whose weakness has been exposed by the influx of convinced, head-high refugees fleeing destruction. I would have expected something this wild and radical from a 25-year-old director. Last year with Poland's The Last Family, this year with Hungary's Jupiter’s Moon, the Czech Republic really should hand in its filmmaking pass for the next ten years.

I must say I got a little lost in this film. I didn’t find the main character relatable. Plus, I didn't get what the filmmakers were trying to tell me. The three stars are for the sometimes almost stunning visuals, but the writing left a lot to be desired as far as I’m concerned. Also, I'm still wondering how the rotation of the apartment was supposed to work...
