The film by Hungarian director Karoy Uy Mesarosz “Lisa-Fox”, 2015, about which I read good reviews. The action takes place in some rather uncertain era, most likely somewhere in the 60s. A young woman, a nurse, works as a nurse for an elderly lady, the widow of the Japanese ambassador, has been working for many years, almost without leaving. During this time, she even learned Japanese and often listens to the songs of a Japanese singer who died a few years ago, whose ghost accompanies her everywhere, is in love with her and jealous of any invasion of her personal life that she would like to have. On the day of her thirtieth birthday, she receives a 2-hour leave and goes to Mecca Burger to enjoy an overseas delicacy, while the ghost organizes the death of the widow. With this death, as a result of which she, however, becomes the heiress of the apartment to the great displeasure of relatives, a series of deaths of potential "fiancés" begins, and she already loses any hope of getting rid of this curse, considering herself according to Japanese mythology, a kitsune - a fox, contacting which without true love, a man receives death. In the end, everything ends well, except for a few corpses in between. The idea is quite interesting, there is a kind of satire inherent in Hungarian comedies, but the incarnation seemed to me a little heavy-weight, slightly borrowed, I sometimes lacked pace. The director’s thought, apart from the events lying on the surface, is also not very clear, the slogan “The suitors only rival is death” – “The only rival of the beggar is death”, in this particular case or in general? Filmed well, it feels like the director had to deal with Japan - he shot commercials there and sometimes their style is also visible. The music, although it is plot and grounded, at the end I was a little annoyed, frankly. But don't listen to me, I'm a picky guy, the movie's a good movie to watch.
