1.Latcho Drom starring: La Caita directed by: Tony Gatlif November 11, 1998
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $35.00
Latcho Drom is mesmerizing, the people magical and the music unforgettable. There is no dialogue, but this does nothing to detract from the film's integrity or entertainment value. Although Rom diaspora has resulted in the Roma living in just about every country on earth, Latcho Drom provides the viewer with a coup d'oeil of the Roma people in Africa, Egypt, Turkey, Slovakia, Hungary, Romania, France and Spain. The Romanian Roma (the two are mutually exclusive), instantly pulled me under their spell. Upon first impression, the Romanian "gypsies" might look like a ragtag band of amateurs. In short order, however, this misconception is swiftly dispelled as these musical maestros fill the air with their art - all deftly orchestrated and delivered. Read More

2.The Church starring: Tomas Arana, Hugh Quarshie February 12, 1992
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $0.99
La Chiesa (Michele Soavi, 1989) Michele Soavi's Dellamorte Dell'Amore remains one of the best horror-comedies of all time, so when I got a chance to see one of his earlier films, La Chiesa, I jumped at it. Now, Soavi got his start as an assistant director for Dario Argento, and Argento wrote the script, so it should come as little shock that La Chiesa comes off kind of like second-rate Argento. (Argento's daughter Asia even has a minor part in the film, as she did increasingly often in Argento films during the eighties.) Plotwise, anyway. While Soavi's direction does wear his Argento influence writ large on its sleeve, he learned all the right things from the master of Italian horror, and there's enough actual Soavi in there to ensure that you at least sense this isn't completely ...

4.Hanussen starring: Klaus Maria Brandauer, Erland Josephson, Ildikó Bánsági, Walter Schmidinger, Károly Eperjes directed by: István Szabó February 21, 1995
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $5.54
Klaus Maria Brandauer gives a great performance as a soldier that discovers his psychic powers after a headinjury. Hanussen's career is on the right path until he starts predicting that Hitler will be the next German chancellor and until he ridicules a Nazi party member during one of his shows. Although fascinating, since this is a real-life story, the movie isn't long enough and I found the ending too abrupt. I wish there would have been more to watch.

5.A Hungarian Fairy Tale starring: Dávid Vermes, Pál Hetényi, Frantisek Husák, Mária Varga, Eszter Csákányi directed by: Gyula Gazdag October 13, 1997

6.Father starring: András Bálint, Miklós Gábor, Dániel Erdély, Kati Sólyom, Klári Tolnay directed by: István Szabó August 03, 2004
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $2.88
With his film Father, Hungarian film titan Istvan Szabo created a watershed film about the coming of age of a boy who lost his father while still a small child, and who, as he grows up, fills the void left by his father's premature death by reconstructing who the man was in his imagination. The movie has a two-part structure, the first focusing on the boy while still in grade school, the second part showing him as a young man. The latter part is played by Hungarian film and theater legend András Bálint, who is perfect in the role. Father touches on many facets of Hungarian life and culture during the communist era, but offers no harsh editorials and doesn't allow the story to veer far from the perspective of a young man looking for the truth about where he came from. The film is emotional ... Read More

7.I Love Budapest (Sub) starring: Gabriella Hámori, Martina Kovács, Sándor Csányi, Tamás Lengyel, Viktor Nagy directed by: Ágnes Incze November 26, 2002
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $5.99
"I Love Budapest" is one of those self-discovery films where a young protagonist from the country heads out to the city to cash in on all the excitement. One of the best examples of the genre may be "Midnight Cowboy". "Midnight Cowboy" this is not but "I Love Budapest" managed to cast me under its spell. I cared about the protagonst, a young girl named Aniko (Gabriella Harmori) and didn't want any harm to come her way. Aniko is from the countryside and goes to Budapest to meet a friend, Moni (Martina Kovacs), who tells her how great things are in the city. When Aniko arrives however she finds her friend's stories may have been a bit exaggerated. Moni is barely getting by, living in a cheap apartment and hanging around the wrong group of friends (her boyfriend deals with drugs). What ... Read More

8.Forbidden Relations starring: Lili Monori, Miklós Székely B., Mari Töröcsik, György Bánffy, József Horváth directed by: Zsolt Kézdi-Kovács October 29, 2002

Excellent Hungarian film, based on true events. Visually stunning with amazing performances by the stars and superb direction by Kezdi-Kovacs. Difficult not to get involved with these people and you forget they are acting. Money well spent.

10.Good Evening, Mr. Wallenberg starring: Stellan Skarsgård, Katharina Thalbach, Károly Eperjes, Miklós Székely B., Erland Josephson directed by: Kjell Grede October 13, 1997
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $1.50
Kjell Grede's "Good Evening, Mr. Wallenberg" is a noble but ultimately flawed effort. The story focuses on the efforts of Raoul Wallenberg to save Jews in Budapest during WWII's final days. Although he comes from one of Sweden's wealthiest families, there's nothing outstanding about Raoul. He's an ordinary guy with ordinary talents who hasn't done anything remarkable; as the film begins, he's an importer of luxury foods. But on a train trip, he happens to see Jewish corpses being tossed out of a death camp-bound freight car, and a father, who jumped out of the car to be with his dead son, shot and killed. This experience changes Raoul's life. As he tells the skeptical committee considering him for relief work, it's only in that moment that he feels he's ever actually lived. Grede's film focuses on the very last days of Wallenberg's ... Read More
