As always when I am in Hungary, I try to find myself a few Hungarian movies. This time I bought Állítsátok meg Terézanyut! (2004), S.O.S. Szerelem (2007) and the last one was Kalandorok (2008). All three of them available with on DVD with English subtitles. Lets start with the last one first, Kalandorok, it is made by the same people behind the classic Üvegtigris (2001 and Üvegtigris 2 – 2006). I hoped that they had found a great story, that I could really laugh from, but sadly […] Continue reading →
As always when traveling to Hungary, I visit the Tesco Hypermarket near by.

I ended up buying three movies this time, […] Continue reading →

There is now another great Hungarian movie, that is about to be shown in Cannes. “The Man From London” (Londoni férfi) made by one of the most celebrated auteurs in world cinema, Bela Tarr. The movie is featuring an international cast, including Tilda Swinton, Czech actor Miroslav Krobot, British actress Leah Williams and Hungarian stars Janos Derzsi and Istvan […] Continue reading →
I have just come back from a longer trip to Hungary with two new Hungarian movies on DVD, Szöke Kóla and Szabadság Szerelem. And today I went through one of the shopping centres downtown Oslo and bought Taxidermia. For the frequent readers of my blog (Kontroll and Csak szex és más semmi – Eng: Just sex and nothing else) this might not come as a shock! I have no information about the movie Szöke Kóla, and I don’t know any of the actors/actresses appearing. Even IMBD seems […] Continue reading →
