***It can be viewed without age limit.***
Attila Dargay's third highly successful fairy tale film, Szaffi, takes place in the last days of Turkish subjugation. Jónás Botsinkay, a noble gentleman raised among the gypsies, and Szaffi (and his cat of the same name), a maid raised by a witch, fall in love with each other on an adventurous journey.
The romantic story abounds in lovely animal characters and parodic, laughing dialogues, as is typical of Dargay tales. Today, dubbing is also cult.

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".
