Never miss a satire if you'd like to have a wider view of the 60's or 70's (and maybe the 80's) Eastern Europe. Both the regime and behavior of people are pilloried, with many-many hints that show deeper details of the correlation of the two. And the creators didn't miss to have some words about the West and it's part of this history. But don't sit down to see the film if you'd like to have a light funny evening movie, 'cause that will lash up your feelings alright. The director is that same Peter Bacso, who directed the legendary satire 'A tanu' (The witness) which deals with the same historical era, the same relations between politics and the people, just from a little different point of view.
Direction
Bacsó's surgical precision dissecting regime mechanics.

Péter Bacsó
Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Released during Hungary's slow liberalization, Bacsó smuggled devastating critique past censors who assumed audiences wouldn't 'get it.' They got it.
The title references Shakespeare's fairy queen while the plot steals from Kafka—Bacsó claimed this fusion was 'the only honest way to describe our reality.'

Akkor még Románia-szatíra volt, ma már Magyarország-szatíra.

Milyen kár, hogy későbbi híradó alapján Titánia összes füvét elajándékozzák egy másik országnak. :D

A mai magyarország.
