Szindb%C3%A1d

Szindbd also known as Szinbd Sindbad Sinbad is a 1971 Hungarian film directed by Zoltn Huszrik, and based on short stories by the writer Gyula Krdy.

The central figure of Szindbd, although his name makes reference to the character of Sinbad in the Arabian Nights, here belongs to the last years of the AustroHungarian empire around the turn of the 20th century the period during which the original stories were written. Szindbd is a middleaged traveller driven by memories of his amorous adventures and of the favourite meals he has savoured along the way he is an observer of life as it passes by rather than an active participant in it, and his inner world is conveyed in a stream of consciousness reflecting his unsatisfied desires and his nostalgia for the past.The original choice to play the role of Szindbd was Vittorio De Sica, but when terms could not be agreed the part was given to the leading Hungarian actor Zoltn Latinovits who played it with a reckless chic that makes him irresistible even as hes being detestable. ........
