It's Monday night, and you're at home after an exhausting weekend, no doubt. But just in case you're not, and you're rueing missed opportunities, take a chance on...

Besh o droM (Concert)

Morrison's 2, 11th Feb 21:00
Szent István körút/Honvéd utca corner [map]
Pest, V, Nyugati (T4/6, M3), 3 min

Ride the road to Morrisons 2 and prepare to stamp your feet! According to the band, they're not stuck in the Balkan category but that's exactly where most people would stick them. No matter how they're categorized, it's a huge improvement on Morrisons' usual output.

Inland Empire (Film)

Muvesz, 19:30, 11th Feb
Teréz körút 30 [map]
Pest, VI, Teréz körút (T4/6), 1 min

David Lynch's latest didn't get much of a release here, but it's playing tonight at Muvesz. Frightening, infuriating, and at times, really rather boring, it's still a hell of a lot better than this silly nonsense.

Institut français, 23rd Jan - 22nd Feb
Fõ utca 17 [map]
Buda, I, Halász utca (T19/41), 1 min

Atonement (Film)

Corvin Budapest Filmpalota, 11th Feb, 17:45
Corvin köz 1 [map]
Pest South, VIII, Ferenc krt (T4/6, M3), 1 min

This British film has picked up quite a lot of good reviews, even though it looks a bit like The English Patient - the kind of big, historical epic that does exceptionally well at awards ceremonies. My Mum liked it.
