Köbli Norbert - Félvilág and más forgatókönyvek

Norbert Köbli's school-creating, multi-awarded screenplays are now being published for the first time, in their entirety, unmutilated, with many omitted scenes. We heartily recommend this volume not only to professionals interested in screenwriting and film fans, but also to lovers of deeply human, exciting and twisty stories.

At the dawn of the great war, the lady of the world would flee abroad with her lover, not knowing that someone in her immediate vicinity wished her dead.

A Stalinist locksmith and a revolutionary pianist form an eternal friendship in the basement of the Ministry of the Interior.

Military scouts roam the Italian forests in search of rifles and pigeons.

Three friends prepare for the folly of hijacking a domestic airliner.

"His human tales confront us with ourselves, with the unprocessed chapters of the past, without forgetting to entertain."

"Good dramaturgy, script thought through to the last word." Halfworld, Filmworld

"The social contrast between the very rich and the very poor, the world of prostitutes climbing on the backs of tycoons and dreamy servants exploited to the limit, was captured by the screenwriter Norbert Köbli with at least as good a sense as Kosztolányi in Édes Anna." Half-world, Index

"It entertains because it also shows beyond the lives of the characters and gives a more comprehensive picture of the given period." Trezor, film.hu

"We haven't had a war movie this big in fifty years." Gray nobody, Origo
