A Kind Of America director Gabor Herendi's second feature, Hungarian Vagabond has taken the Hungarian box office by storm. The film attracted over 65,000 admissions over its opening weekend - finally pushing the final installment of the LOTR trilogy off the top spot, in the fifth week after its release.
Herendi's film is a feature-length Hungarian Monty Python-esque comedy working around verbal jokes connected to various events of Hungarian history - and is clearly a huge draw for local audiences.
Hungarian Vagabond is still a long way from the half a million admissions mark that A Kind Of America achieved, but with but good word of mouth this well-made, truly entertaining picture should show good legs.
