A hedonistic pervert, a gluttonous champion speed-eater, and a passionate fatalistic taxidermist are fleshed out in this astonishingly grotesque feature about three generations of a very, very bizarre family.
Based on Polish author Stanisław Lem (Solaris)’s 1968 philosophical sci-fi novel, His Master’s Voice centers a young man, Péter, who catches a glimpse of his father—missing for decades—while watching a documentary film. Péter travels to America to investigate, and quickly becomes embroiled in a head-spinning conspiracy involving government secrets, Cold War politics, and extraterrestrial activity. Employing a plethora of distinct multimedia formats, Pálfi stunningly captures the expansive range of Lem’s deeply cerebral text.
Join us for a Q&A with director György Pálfi moderated by fIlmmaker Keith Bearden following the screening on June 1.
