Summary/Abstract: The film "Another Way" (1982) was a female love drama of Hungarian production directed by Károly Makk, based on Erzsébet Galgóczi's autobiographical novel "Within the Law and Outside the Law" (1980). The film found its way into mainstream art cinema and gained international recognition in the festival circuit. This article discusses the reception of the film in the cultural press in Hungary and Poland, the latter due to the involvement of Polish actresses: Jadwiga Jankowska-Cieślak and Grażyna Szapołowska as the main characters. The topic of lesbian love became a theme in film journalism and one of the events that contributed to the groundbreaking changes for the Central European LGBT movement in the first half of the 1980s.
