Tarantino Marathon (Films) 
Vörösmarty Mozi, 16th May, from 14:00
Üllői út 4 [map]
Pest, VIII, Kálvin tér (M3), 1 min
Does watching violent movies make you into a bad person? Well, there's no better way to find out than a Tarantino marathon - if, after 9 hours of this, you go out into the street swearing like a motherfucker, ready to beat/shoot/stab somebody, you've probably found your answer. (...Kill Bill is at 14:00, swiftly followed by Kill Bill 2 at 16:00. Pulp Fiction starts at 18:30, Death Proof at 21:15. Reservoir Dogs is showing tomorrow).

He appeared on Ibrahim Ferrer's last album, but compared with the other Buena Vista Socialites, Roberto Fonseca is really rather young. Fonseca's bringing his own band to MUPA tonight, and he'll be performing material from Zamazu, which was one of 'the classiest world-jazz albums' of last year, according to the Guardian. Myspace here.

If you ignore the extra monkey, there's six monkeys in that picture, which ties in nicely with A 38's terrace tonight. Rave, techno and house under the stars... I've never seen a monkey djing before but this could be the start of something big. Take your camera! (Theirspace here and there).

Tel. 331 2550
Pest Centre, Opera (M1), 1 min
The eighth most performed opera in North America, Tosca is darker than La Boheme and shorter than Madame Butterfly. Puccini's story of murder, love and deceit is also unlikely to be in English, but there's a full synopsis here.

KOGART's latest exhibition is a retrospective of Gulácsy Lajos' work. He may not be as well known as Rippl-Rónai or Csontváry, but Gulácsy is still one of the outstanding modern Hungarian painters. Something of a bohemian, he travelled extensively, but still decided to make up his own world
