Julia had a good job in the old communist-ruled Hungary. She was an electrical engineer. Now she is thirty, and since the government has fallen, the rules of the game have changed. Without a job for the first time in many years, she discovers that her husband has been carrying on with his boss' daughter, so she moves in with an older woman who has been her friend for some time, a widowed lawyer. After some searching, she finds a job as a waitress and becomes embroiled in the restaurant-owner's struggle to hang on to the business in the face of efforts by a local gang to take it over for themselves. ~ Clarke Fountain, All Movie Guide

For decades, housing in Hungary has been difficult to come by. In this thriller, a young couple make a pact with a sickly older woman to take over her lovely house when she dies and to take care of her in the meantime. While they passively (and ghoulishly) wait for her to die, she becomes increasingly paranoid about the possibility that they will kill her for the house, and she ceases to eat anything they have prepared for her. Eventually, goaded beyond their endurance, they do try to kill her, and for a little while it looks as though they may get away with it, until her corpse goes missing. ~ Clarke Fountain, All Movie Guide

The Hungarian Az Uj Foldesur is based on the novel of the same name (English translation: The New Landlord) by Mor Jokai. In the days of the Austro-Hungarian empire, an Austrian general (Imre Sinkovits) assumes command of a dissention-ridden Hungarian community. Essentially a man of peace, the general tries to close old wounds by offering his daughter in marriage to the son of a local aristocrat. The girl (Aniko Fur), who already has a lover, bristles at this arrangement. The boy (Laszlo Sinko), who has lost his memory during a recent military action, has no idea what he really wants out of life. There's really no telling how this will end, so your attention is bound to be riveted to the screen throughout. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
