Milky Way (Hungarian: Tejút) is a 2007 Hungarian experimental drama film written and directed by Benedek Fliegauf. [1]
The film presents a sequence of self‑contained scenes observed in extended static takes. Each vignette depicts individuals in isolated or everyday settings—such as a roadside at night, a public bath, or rural landscapes—without spoken dialogue. Meaning is conveyed through gesture, environment, and sound rather than explicit storytelling.[1]
Style and themes
Critics have described Milky Way as a “human nature film”, replacing animals with people in a timeless landscape. The film emphasizes the biosphere, environment, and human presence over plot or political commentary, aiming for a contemplative, meditative effect.[2]
