First came the microgroove, then the LP, originally in the form of what we now call the vinyl album. Usually 12 inches in diameter and playing at a speed of 33 1/3 rotations per minute, it could accommodate up to 50 minutes of music, making it a respectable medium for even a complete rock opera.

In 2024, Emir Kusturica & The No Smoking Orchestra returned to perform at Müpa Budapest. The night was one big party. Was it what we would call folk punk? Balkan rollicking? Categories are meaningless. Kusturica is very consistent in his use of music in his films. (Sometimes the songs even become hits.)

We have made an exception in this case and will be admitting viewers even if they haven’t brought any rice, candles, newspapers or toilet paper to the screening. In fact, we’ll even let you in without wearing one of the costumes popular among hard-core devotees of The Rocky Horror Show. The musical that inspired the film had already gained its own cult following in theatres as early as 1973. This is a parody that draws its humour from sci-fi and horror films.

Like Woody Allen, Martin Scorsese is passionately in love with New York City. There is no doubt, however, that Scorsese sees a different city. His is dirtier, edgier, and slightly more full of crime and criminals. Scorsese’s home turf is Little Italy, in Lower Manhattan. On the other hand, New York, New York clearly shows that the two are both jazz fans.

In 2000, Lars von Trier broke free from the Dogme 95 movement he had helped create, and immediately won the Palme d’Or at Cannes.

Three stories taking place over the course of a single night in Memphis, seen from three different points of view. Jim Jarmusch has come up with an incredibly exciting storytelling technique for this film. (He has often chosen unusual narrative forms in his later works.) Furthermore, he only reveals it in the second part of the triptych.
