Synopsis

When Péter, a Hungarian journalist, glimpses his missing-for-decades father in a documentary about a mysterious incident in Colorado, he travels to America to investigate, and becomes embroiled in strange events involving secret government programs, Cold War politics, and extraterrestrial contact.

Our take

This freewheeling sci-fi mystery spins through moods and styles in hallucinatory fashion, as one man’s journey to find his roots morphs into an expansive intergalactic quest. A loose adaptation of Stanisław Lem’s eponymous masterpiece, His Master’s Voice is a strikingly unique cinematic vision.
