Trailer for Stream of Love.
Old widower Feri drives a horse and cart around his sleepy Transylvanian village sizing up his romantic prospects. Of the 25 or so single, elderly women, the old coot claims “only two or three of them are really fine.” So begins one of the year’s most ribald, straight-talking observations about sex, love and everything in between. Filmmaker Ágnes Sós (Invisible Strings: The Talented Pusker Sisters) spent three years shooting her senior subjects, building a trust so binding that these rural women not only let their guards down over taboo subjects like sex and foreplay, they seemingly throw open the barn doors. From awkward wedding night confessions to surprising discoveries of self-pleasure and even shocking criminal confessions, the women’s tales weave seamlessly into the film’s sweet, nostalgic look at old-world country living. By turns coarse and comical, Stream of Love is a vibrant reminder that “even an old goat likes a lick of the salt.”
