Zoltan Huszarik Szindbad Csontvary 5 Short Films Blu-ray collects the complete cinematic works of one of Hungary’s most distinctive and visually poetic filmmakers. Featuring two celebrated features and a selection of rare short films, this set presents Huszárik’s singular artistic vision in stunning restorations.

Blending sensual imagery, memory, and surrealism, Szindbád stands as a lush meditation on love and time, while Csontváry offers a deeply expressive portrait of artistic obsession and madness. Complemented by five short films spanning over a decade, this collection showcases Huszárik’s unique ability to merge visual experimentation with emotional depth.

A vital and long-overdue release, this box set highlights a filmmaker whose limited output remains profoundly influential in world cinema.
