This I Wish and Nothing More

Directed by KornΓ©l MundruczΓ³2000Hungary80 mins

They all love handsome young BrunΓ³ (Ervin Nagy) β€” his pretty blond girlfriend Mari (Martina KovΓ‘cs), a talented gymnast; Mari's brother Ringo (Roland RΓ‘ba), a skin-headed hustler who also does drag; and the older married man (Imre Csuja) to whom BrunΓ³ keeps running for help and comfort. But who does BrunΓ³ love? Even he doesn't seem to know. Rather than take a hard look at his life, he'd rather pretend that he's Batman and escape into fantasies of aerial derring-do.

But back on solid ground, things are pretty grim. The graphic scene in which BrunΓ³ skins a rabbit sets the tone. Hustling with Ringo (their escapade with a client into toilet plungers and vacuum tubes is like nothing you've seen before), BrunΓ³ runs afoul of the law (his forced striptease for a pair of lascivious women cops is equally bizarre). A stolen key unlocks a sequence of events that leads to tragic consequences for everyone in BrunΓ³'s world.
