I’m looking forward to this. A weird thriller set in the metro system of Budapest. It won the top prize the in Chicago International Film Festival last year. See details on Yahoo! Movies and IMDB. Opening in NY April 1.
Thanks to Mark for the tip.

You and your wife are sure going to enjoy it. I’m glad to hear that it reached the States with this glamour
Or NY weather doesn’t even allow that these days…?
Congrats on promotion. Are you still riding to the office, boss?
Still biking. Weather is no obstacle. I wear lots of layers.
It’s not a film that would change one’s life, but it is cute and well done. Also wonderful for views of the mysterious underground world that is Budapest’s metro system.
Although the director is actually a Hungarian American, he and a number of other young filmmakers are resuscitating the Hungarian film industry. It’s nice to be able to see locally produced films that are able to achieve the compromise between tradition and commercial interests. And people actually go to see them.
