Review of No Subtitles Necessary: Laszlo & Vilmos (2009) by Walter M — 02 Mar 2012

I went to a screening of this film at the Hollywood Film School last night and was blown away. You must see this film if you are a true fan of cinema. It of course shows a sampling of their works which is impressive in itself, but more importantly tells the incredible backstory of two friends who escaped from Hungary to the U.S. and not only changed the style of cinematography, but heralded in independent filmmaking.

The interviews in this film include Voight, Streisand, Hopper, Bullock, etc... with reverence and humor for these two men who have given so much to the art with their films and their unselfishness in teaching others the craft.

I was lucky enough to meet the filmmaker and producer after the screening and was humbled by the modesty all of them had after making such an impressive and important film. I know they put a lot of work into this since it screened at Cannes, and it shows.

If you want to watch a thoroughly enjoyable film in content and execution, see this film - it really does shine.
