Based on the stories of surrealist writer Gyula Krúdy, this iconic film is a lush and sensuous depiction of the life, loves and memories of serial seducer Szindbád (Zoltán Latinovits). As Szindbád contemplates his life of hedonism and romance, the film powerfully evokes the passage of time and the exploration of memory through extraordinarily beautiful imagery. An erotic elegy, at once lyrical and surreal, Szindbád is a work of intoxicating, almost overwhelming physical beauty – a unique experience unlike any other in modern cinema.
