Description:
Acclaimed Hungarian director Karoly Makk (LOVE, CATSPLAY) directs a startling romantic drama set against the aftermath of the failed Hungarian uprising of 1956. Livia, the quiet wife of an army officer, is a reporter for a Budapest newspaper where Eva, an outspoken lesbian, comes to work after two years of politically motivated unemployment. Eva and Livia engage in an intense flirtation, which leads to tragic consequences. Makk, a master at portraying complex relationship with socio-political undertones, based his film on a best-selling autobiographical novel by Hungarian author Erzsebet Galgoczi.

Average Rating: 
Rating: - good historical perspective
Under the influence of communism the view of homosexuality is very contrary to the western view shared today. There are still countries that treat homosexuality as depicted in this film, a definite must for the person interested in historical persepectives on the subject.
Wonderfully acted and cinematography.
Rating: - One of Makk's Best Films!
The great thing about movies, and really the arts in general, is two people can sit down watch the same movie, read the same book, or listen to the same piece of music and have two vastly different reactions. In the case of movies, people are drawn to certain movies for various reasons. For some it has to do with the director, for others the actors, and still for others simply the plot.
I mention all of this because reading the reaction others had here on amazon I'm struck how people ... Read More

Rating: - Another way indeed...
If you have ever wondered what being gay was like behind the Iron Curtain, then Károly Makk's 'Another Way' is a must to watch. It's the story of two women journalists who find a way to each other's hearts amidst the secrecy, lies and ignorance of Hungary's supposedly, kinder and gentler form of 'goulash socialism,' where you were guaranteed a job and two-weeks vacation just as long as didn't ask too many questions. Just as long as you didn't dig for the truth.
Makk artfully intertwines the many ... Read More
Rating:  - A Keeper
Set in Hungary shortly after the failure of the revolt of 1956, this beautifully acted love story tells the tale of two women journalists whose affair is thoughtfully mirrored by their newspaper which also struggles with censorship, self-censorship, and the profound desire to tell the truth in the face of harsh oppression--personal politics at its best.
