Bubble Bath (1979)
(Bubble Bath - in Hungarian with English subtitles)
Schedule
Zsolt Mohay, a window dresser, flees from his fiancée and their afternoon wedding to Anna, a nurse preparing for her medical exams. The groom is indecisive: he doesn't dare take on the responsibility of marriage. Anna, an old maid, longs for a true partner; she needs a man! Their pleasant conversation is interrupted by the arrival of the bride, Klári, who—unaware that her future husband will also be there—has come to take Anna to the wedding. Klári—unlike the other two—is a big shot, decisive, and brimming with self-confidence. The clash of values between the three of them causes no small amount of tension.
Habfürdő is a rare experiment, and as a realization, it is definitely a successful film that speaks to everyone and has something to say to everyone. Perhaps even: "change your life."

Bem Cinema
In January 2016, the 108-year-old Bem Cinema will reopen its doors to the public, in a new way never seen before in Hungary: as a cinema of cult and classic films (no harm!), or as the educated French say (if you know your English): as a "repertory cinema".
