16/06/09

Celebrate the 51st anniversary of the hanging of Imre Nagy, Prime Minister of Hungary in 1956! Alternatively, celebrate the 20th anniversary of his public funeral. Kind of depends on whether you're a Commie sympathizer or not. Which is it boy?

Conversations with Other Women (Film)

Művész, 16th June, 19:00
Teréz körút 30 [map], (T4/6, M1)


Aaron Eckhart and Helena Bonham Carter's nameless characters flirt uncomfortably as they discover that they have a history. I hope you have two independent eyes and brains because the whole thing is filmed in split-screen.

"A near-perfect amalgamation of cinematic technique and content" or "take away the split screen gimmick, and you have a romantic drama that wouldn't be worth its running time." You decide. Reviews here.

With that poster, they're definitely going for the Lost in Translation audience.

Or how about...?

The Trousers and Fuwdo (Film)
A38, 21:00, 500Ft
It's damned silly names night at A38. Trousers frontman, Zoltán Kováry is somewhere between Noddy Holder, Liam Gallagher and Gaz Coombes, while Fuwdo are complete and utter US-wannabe rock detritus.

Rekontra (Concert)
Pótkulcs 21:00, free
Breathing
more life into traditional Hungarian folk music than you might think possible on a Tuesday night. The cimbalom is king! Listen here.

Milk (Film)

Művész [map], 21:15
What? You got a problem with gay people? Well, Harvey Milk was gay! The first openly gay US politician, that is. Gus Van Sant's warm, evocative docu-drama captures the spirit of a man on a personal and political mission, and won two Oscars for its efforts. If you still haven't seen it, now's your chance to see James Franco's killer mustache. Rave reviews here.
