Mondo Candido (Film)

LUMU, 10th October, 18.00, 600 ft
Komor Marcell u. 1 [map]
Pest, IX, Boraros tér (T 4,6), 8 min

According to Cinephilia, this 1975 Italian film has it all. It's an oddball adaptation of Candide, an epic/surreal/arthouse/exploitation/comedy adventure that combines Monty Python and El Topo. Yes, yes, and don't forget - the filmklub usually starts with a lengthy Hungarian introduction... so get there late, or take a gameboy. Imdb here, showing with English subtitles.

Friday Funk POW! (Bar/Club)
, Jelen, 10th October, 22.00, free
Soul, funk, hip-hop, breaks and underground jazz - with tunes juggled by four djs (two of them from tilos). It's the first night back after the summer for the FFP crew, and very welcome they are too. Review of Jelen here.

Belle and Sebastian DJ Set (Club)
Merlin,
10th October, 22:00, 2000 ft, girls free before 22:00.
Not really a Belle and Sebastian DJ set, rather it'll just be Richard Colburn. Could be like a Belle and Sebastian afterparty, which isn't necessarily a bad thing, I imagine. His main motivation for djing is to get people dancing, no matter how eclectic the choices are apparently. (Not very enlightening) interview here.


Fidelio (Opera), Opera House, 10th October, 19:00
Like Friday Funk POW!, the opera house is back in business after the summer break. Here's Beethoven's only opera Fidelio, which you've probably seen advertised about the city. Probably in German and Hungarian, never fear - there's a full synopsis here. Tickets here.
