Get ready to rock ’n’ roll as the music of the Brylcreem era goes behind the Iron Curtain in this toe-tapping musical rom-com.
Set in 1963 Hungary, Director Gergely Fonyo tells the story of Miki, a young man who returns to his drab communist-run native country after a few years in America. With a suitcase full of Jerry Lee Lewis vinyl and a chip on his shoulder, Miki has to overcome the attention of communist party goons and win back the heart of his childhood girlfriend. It’s a funny and nostalgic look back at a forgotten era of Hungary’s history and a not-forgotten style of music.
Festivals screenings include Karlovy Vary, Montreal, Budapest
“The splashy 1960s-era set pieces and costumes are great eye candy. Hungarian rock ‘n’ roll is catchy as well.” Natasha Senjanovic, The Hollywood Reporter
“Kimmel’s peppy performance makes the film an enjoyable ride” Boyd Van Hoeij, Variety
