8.3/10. Recommended

I don't know anything about Hungarian cinema except from Bela Tarr. This came to my attention by chance and these ecstatic reviews made me curious to watch it. I am glad i did. This is an amazing movie that makes you think a lot. This is pure Art and not pretentious or "artsy" at all. A movie with deep meanings. I can't say it amazed me from the start, but as it progressed, things fell into place and i realized that every word here had a purpose.Last 40 minutes are heartbreaking and devastating. This monologue (y'all understand when you watch it) was bone chilling. It's true, every authoritarian regime has exactly the same goal: To make people losing their self respect. That's the key.Some times, even "democracies" have the same goal. You can see it everywhere in the world right now.

Flawed but philosophically interesting film.

Gets off to an amazing start, with the first 40 or minutes or so being confined to one location, and centring on five men having intense philosophical/political conversations. One stirs things up as the evening's winding down, then everyone's a mess for the second act, and then this war drama becomes a bit more of a war film in its final act, and it kind of comes together... well, it comes together enough.So where the film ends up certainly isn't terrible, but could perhaps be a bit on the nose. I think The Fifth Seal really flounders throughout its second act, though, and makes the whole thing feel a bit uneven.I can't deny there are some amazing parts to this film at least, most of them contained to the first 40-ish minutes of the film.
