While waiting to be shipped back to Russia following the fall of communism in Hungary in the late 1980s, the military men and their families enact the story of Anton Chekhov's famous play The Three Sisters in modern guise. Basically, the story concerns the thwarted dreams and aspirations (romantic and otherwise) of the leading characters, whose lives have been greatly constrained by social obligations of one kind or another. ~ Clarke Fountain, Rovi

The complicated and chaotic life of a good-hearted boarding school geography teacher figures prominently in this meandering melodrama. The teacher's efforts to help a suicidal student only add to the chaos in his own household. And he must somehow fend off the love-struck attentions of a fellow teacher without crushing her spirit or ruining his own career. Then there is the question of what to do about the boy who is forever running away from the school to find out where his wandering mother has gotten to now, and what man she has taken up with... ~ Clarke Fountain, Rovi

A Hungarian Fairy Tale is an entertaining political satire about an orphaned young boy who searches for a surrogate father in Budapest. The film was shot in crisp, beautiful black and white and features very little dialogue, which makes its humor and fantastical elements all the more effective. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine, Rovi

In this slapstick comedy, Robi (Andor Lucas) is married to a perfectly normal woman named Iren (Jadwiga Jankowska). However, his behavior is more like a child with Attention Deficit Disorder. He's a hyperactive adult who will jump into a fish tank and take a swim, or get up on the table during a formal dinner party. Before Iren totally loses her patience with her husband, her son's tutor suggests a solution for Robi's strange behavior. The question is, will it work? ~ Eleanor Mannikka, Rovi
