In conjunction with the yearlong Extremely Hungary festival, BAMcinématek is presenting a three-week series of films made by Hungarian and Hungarian American actors, directors, writers, composers, producers, cinematographers, and studio chiefs, dating from the 1930s and ’40s through the ’70s and ’80s. Such filmmakers as George Cukor, Michael Curtiz, and André de Toth are represented, as well as actors Bela Lugosi, Johnny Weissmuller, and Eszter Balint, cinematographers László Kovács and Vilmos Zsigmond, composer Miklós Rózsa, and producers Alexander and Zoltan Korda. Balint will be in Brooklyn on opening night, October 7, introducing the twenty-fifth anniversary screening of Jim Jarmusch’s deadpan underground classic, STRANGER THAN PARADISE. The series continues with a wide range of movies, including NINOTCHKA, GILDA, BLOW OUT, DRACULA, PAPER MOON, and TARZAN AND HIS MATE – and let’s not forget Roger Daltrey in Ken Russell’s LISZTOMANIA.
