Abstract:
Ildiko Enyedi's first film (which won the Camera d'Or at Cannes in 1989) is a black and white fairy tale which begins with Edison unveiling the electric light in 1880 and follows the lives of two identical twins, Dora and Lili, orphaned at birth, and separated as children. Dora becomes a con artist, petty thief and sexually adventurous playgirl; Lili becomes a feminist and rather timid anarchist. The film jumps from one setting and interlude to another with the comic logic of early silent cinema. Enydi achieves occasional moments of pure cinematic magic as she presents a quirky and witty critique of civilisation at the turn of the century.
