A Hungarian science fiction film about a Syrian refugee with superpowers? You got it. Naturally, this is the creation of Kornél Mundruczó, who gave us that equally bonkers yet hugely enjoyable ‘Planet of the Pooches’ flick, White God.
Aryan (Zsombor Jéger) is the refugee who’s trying to make his way to Hungary from Serbia, enduring brutality and corruption along the way. Eventually, he’s shot by a cruel border guard. But this simply causes his superpower to develop. Yep, Aryan can fly. But this ain’t no Marvel flick, and our hero finds himself exploited by a cynical doctor, who hawks him to rich patients as an ‘angel’ with the power to cure. As with Mundruczó’s earlier work, this dark satire is all over the place, but brims with imagination and ambition.
