Days that were Filled with Sense by Fear

The animated film, “Days that were Filled with Sense by Fear”, deals with the story of a classic love triangle, using the style and the means of the film noir. The main characters of this love story are the ultra-rich mafioso, Mr. Butter, his beautiful wife, Olga, and his servant or „his right hand”, Pedro. “The bitterness and the revenge of the injured husband is the devil’s work, Pedro! The trap is set… And you are sitting in the middle of it!” says Mr. Butter in a phone message at the beginning of the film. Olga and Pedro have to escape from the revenge of the husband. Their surreal adventures end in a car-crash, and finally are taken back to Mr. Butter’s villa. Olga and Pedro are exposed to the anger of the cheated husband. They are both punished, but in a special way…

Directed by László Csáki, Days that were Filled with Sense by Fear leans on a strong ensemble — Karina Kecskés, Illés Nyitrai, Rajhona Ádám — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about screen titles of 2003.
