Blue Danube Waltz ( Kék Duna keringő ) is a Hungarian film directed by Miklós Jancsó from 1991.
action
The parliamentary elections produced a right-wing government. A nephew of the prime minister is in opposition to his uncle and has a relationship with his wife. He gets the wife to shoot her husband in a Budapest hotel. A struggle for power breaks out, which is followed by countless cameras and broadcast on screens. More and more people are being killed. In the end, the whole spectacle turns out to be staged, in fact no one was killed. It was aimed exclusively at the nephew, who was the only one to perish.
criticism
The International Film Guide 1993 said that as a commentary on current politics in Hungary, the film testifies to Jancsó's political honesty. The director works “with his usual stylistic characteristics and a strong cast”. He begins with a "top-class style with cunning barbs and biting observations," but later loses himself in an excess of playfulness.
