Gábor Bódy
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Gábor Bódy (30 August 1946 - 25 October 1985) was a Hungarian film director.
In the opinion of many Hungarian cinophiles, Gábor Bódy was the most talented filmmaker the country has ever produced.
He was a pioneer in numerous ways and many fields. His first film after film school (Narcisz és Psyché) was the largest-scale Hungarian production of its era. Many view this - together with the other 2 feature films he had the chance to make in his short life - as the greatest Hungarian films ever made. In 1985 he died under sketchy circumstances. Authorities of the time (Hungary was then considered a 'satellite' country of the Soviet Union) stated that he had killed himself. His widow instead proferred a charge of murder against certain unidentified parties. No official investigation followed and Gábor Bódy's fate remains a mystery to this day.
