A marriage is in jeopardy when the husband’s first love returns to town. The fundamental problem with this year’s PÖLP is that there were so few screenings of classic films, significantly fewer than planned for PÖLP 2023. As a viewer, I was torn apart by the overwhelming number of new films by inexperienced filmmakers who play with concepts and techniques, but whose imaginative shells contain little that is eye-opening and refreshing. The lack of classic, tried-and-tested films therefore leads to a lack of spice for my nerves. Among the new films, however, Out of Control, directed by the mature director Le Ny, stands out as a solidly grounded, engaging and emotionally complex soothing film.
