Laurin (1989)
9/10
a black cloak
4 July 2023
What a strange film so much going on for Robert Sigl a director only 25 he went to go to Hungary for the cast and crew and got it done for less money and it looks so wonderful. He had the idea of a woman in a black cloak and a rainstorm in a cemetery. It is used very well so much like those mist, cobwebs, candles and so much more as the Gothic imagery we all know but so effectively used here. There is something terrible going on we are not sure what is happening but a woman sees someone with a body and she falls in the river and a priest who is a bit odd and his son he lets him be the school teacher and with all those young children. Despite all that is going on and the strange things happening there is Dora Szinetar and her incredibly pretty face girl of about 12. She does not have much dialogue but it all happens by the others and we just have to watch her. Her friend who is put upside down in the cupboard in the school room by the bully is different but gradually it all goes around and by the end we finally know the awful truth and even who will be in another cupboard.
