Production
An adaptation of Dezső Kosztolányi's 1926 novel of the same name,[3][4] the film stars Mari Törőcsik in the title role.[5][6] The film only had minor deviations and "a more sociological and historical edge by downplaying the psychological dimensions" from the novel.[7]
Reception
The film has been considered "the epitome of a generation"[8] and "(o)ne of the most shocking classics in Hungarian film history".[6] It also was noted in the career of Fábri as "a return to his top form, combining a portrait of the 1920s with penetrating psychological analysis."[9]
