The most remarkable thing about Hukkle, the debut feature from Hungarian director Gyorgy Palfi, is that there is no dialogue. A delightful film, it takes you on an aural and visual tour of a small rural community at the height of summer.

Opening with an old man with recurring hiccups it presents a rich soundscape of country life with close-ups of minute insects to the hulking agricultural machinery that harvest the fields and turn raw grains into bags of flour.

The cinematography is exquisite and full of surprises. There's also a vague thriller element and some amusing visual humour, but really much of the enjoyment is in seeing the interconnectedness of rural life: a frog skims across a pond, before being snapped up by a large fish, which is hooked by a fisherman... and so on.

A perfect antidote for those averse to subtitles, it stands up to more than one viewing.
