György Fehér's Twilight is the epitome of atmosphere, a culmination of audiovisual transcendence. Fehér, a protégé of fellow collaborator and master director Béla Tarr, remade the German film It Happened in Broad Daylight. His idea for it is cerebral, shedding attachments to structure and transitioning into shapeless territory. It centers on a detective, played by Péter Haumann, who is hunting down The Giant, a murderer. He remains elusive, only existing through pencil sketches done by the local schoolchildren, who happen to be the sole victim demographic. Fehér's construction of the ominous man is akin to that of a folklorian child eater, constantly transformative in image by word of mouth, although here he is without motive. His character, or lack thereof, is a central mechanism for the narrative, melting into the brooding evil pervading the woodlands. The detective's chase is similar to Bong Joon-Ho's
