Overview

A Hungarian countryside, a boy, and a grey horse. Csutak és a szürke ló is one of those children's films whose simplicity is not accidental: Hildebrand István understood that a ten-year-old with a horse and a problem has everything a story needs. The 1960 film follows young Csutak as he forms a bond with a grey horse and navigates the responsibilities and small crises of rural Hungarian childhood. It is gentle, observational, and entirely sincere — qualities that kept it alive in Hungarian cultural memory for over six decades.

This DotKom Média DVD edition makes the film available in a clean, watchable format for families and anyone who encountered it in childhood and wants to share it with the next generation. The original Hungarian audio is preserved, and the 4:3 aspect ratio maintains the film's original composition.

Interesting Facts

Director Hildebrand István was one of the significant figures of Hungarian children's cinema in the 1950s and 1960s; his films were characterised by an authentic documentary approach to rural childhood.

Csutak as a character appeared in several of Fehér Klára's books; the film spawned at least one sequel.
