Moszkva tér (2001)

Moszkva tér (2001). Moszkva tér: Directed by Ferenc Török. With Gábor Karalyos, Erzsi Pápai, Eszter Balla, Vilmos Csatlós. 1989 is an important year in the political history of Hungary. However, Petya and his friends couldn't care less. They are about to graduate high school. The only important things to them are the parties, girls, making some easy cash. And of course, passing the upcoming exam with the leaked questions.

“This film is excellent in so many ways it is difficult to contain my emotions about it. Iu0026#39;m an American who speaks Hungarian well enough to follow the film. This film does not have English subtitles on the Hungarian DVD release, which is an incredible shame, because it is priceless. It illustrates youth apathy and confusion under both the communist system and during the post-communist transformation better than any film I have seen. Moreover, unlike Goodbye, Lenin!, with an intricate and contrived storyline that takes 2.5 hours to unfold, this film runs more like u0026quot;La Haineu0026quot; and/or u0026quot;City of God (Cidade de Deus)u0026quot; without the violence. It follows some teen friends around Hungary, etc., while the transformation comes about. It is absolutely priceless and should be mandatory viewing in any social science classes on post-socialist transformation — if a version with English subtitles can be secured. Stellar, stellar, stellar film!”
