Gergely Fonyó (2009): Made in Hungaria
in Hungarian WITH English subtitles
Time: Tuesday, May 22, 2012, 7pm
Address: 2950 Spring of Freedom Street, N.W., Washington, D.C. 20008
Summary: Directed by Gergely Fonyó in 2009, the film is about the life of Hungarian rock ’n’ roll icon Miklós Fenyő, played by Tamás Szabó Kimmel. He returns with his parents to Communist Hungary in the mid-1960s, when everyone else was fleeing Hungary to the West. For young Miki, arriving from America, sporting a Hawaiian shirt, a perfect quiff and a rebellious streak, life under dictatorship was going to be tough. Miki's old friends don't know what to make of his outrageous clothes, flawless American accent and collection of original Buddy Holly 45s. His childhood sweetheart, Vera (played by Tünde Kiss) is cold and distant, while local tough guy Röné (Iván Fenyő) is unmoved by the challenger to his rock 'n' roll crown. But that's not all. When Comrade Bigali (played by the ingenious Péter Scherer), representing Hungarian Communist authorities, sees the effect Miki's gyrating hips and lewd music have on teenage girls, he won't stand for it. His father's job is on the line, and, for the first time, Miki must play by the rules. He has no other choice but to enter the national talent show ’Ki mit tud?’ – and the rest is rock 'n' roll history.
