The third film by Török Ferenc after Moszkva tér and Szezon. These actually form a trilogy, presenting the life of the contemporary young generations of Hungary. This time Török focuses on the life style of young and wealthy stock market brokers. Quite interesting to see how the slow paced story and the similarly slow paced camera motion manages to convey an otherwise very dynamic lifestyle but somewhat surprisingly this seems to work in the end. I would say that the story is a bit too simple but the photography is beautiful and it really conveys the uniform environment of the perhaps most globalized profession in the globalized world.
I also like other details: small interactions and gestures tell you more about the typical relationship of the brokers with other people (although these relationships are mostly restricted to taxi drivers, waiters and the security personnel of the office buildings...). There are unfortunately less well done details in the film, too: the taxi driver who does not know the city and does not even know how to read a map or the assumption that blowing up a big parabolic antenna would make all mobile phones in a continent useless. These unreal details and stupid mistakes spoil the movie. Despite these, it is still much better than most of the crap you can see in the cinemas nowadays.
