Katy Perry “The Lifetimes Tour” – Live concert from Paris – Screened @ Budapest’s movies 2026

Posted by www.rollinginbudapest.com in Budapest - Hungary, Entertainments, Hungary.. Tagged: , , , , , , , , , .

This fall “Roar” together at the Katy Perry’s concert movie.

Perry returns to the big screen in a stunning, spectacular concert film. The Lifetimes Tour – Live from Paris takes viewers on a tour of the sold-out shows at the Accor Arena in Paris in November 2025, bringing the world star closer than ever before. Filmed with over 60 cameras, the production brings to life Katy’s biggest hits, breathtaking sets, spectacular choreography and unique stage solutions. In addition to the energetic performances, the film captures intimate moments with the audience, so the viewer feels like they are enjoying the concert from the front row. The Lifetimes Tour – Live from Paris is more than a concert film: it is a colorful, immersive celebration of Katy Perry’s music, her energy as a performer and her special connection with her fans.

KatyCats will have only two days to indulge in this 131-minute experience, including exclusive behind-the-scenes bonuses (if you did not attend the Budapest stop in person at the end of October), namely on Wednesday evening,  2nd of September  and Saturday afternoon, 5th of September. The premiere screening will start at 7 p.m. in all four Budapest multiplexes of the cinema network, while the weekend repeat will be shown at Cinema MOM  at Noontime, and at Lurdy Cinema, Pólus Cinema and GoBuda Cinema at 2 p.m., within the original language. The work, which debuted at the Tribeca Festival in early summer, culminating in joint singing and dancing, was conducted by veteran concert film director Paul Dugdale, who has already worked with the likes of Coldplay, Adele, and Raye, and regular viewers of Pannónia have already been introduced to several of his works, including in connection with Hans Zimmer.

The tour, as the name suggests, will feature a selection from the singer’s entire oeuvre, so songs such as “Teenage Dream”, “California Gurls”, “Dark Horse”, “Roar”, “I Kissed a Girl”, “Woman’s World”, “Firework”, which is already beloved by Hungarians, and “The One That Got Away”, the live performance clip of which was released not long ago is already from the concert film.  Her performances spanning 23 countries, consisting of 91 nights, last year, and although there was nothing special about the starting and ending venues, it was considered a major success for the organizers that they were able to squeeze in 6 dates in China despite the strict restrictions on Western performers. Part of the proceeds were donated to charity.

This will be a great opportunity to see-hear  the concert for those who tried to be at the Budapest’s MVM but missed it.

Tickets on the spot at the a/m the movies.

Here you go – Peek into September’s recommendation @ HBO Max

Posted by www.rollinginbudapest.com in Entertainments, Hungary.. Tagged: .

After the summer break, busy weekdays are back, and this time we have a few exciting premieres to serve you. Among the featured series of the month are the second season of American Hostage , based on true events, and Outlander: Blood in My Blood , but several original European productions are also coming to the platform. Among the film premieres, we find the Oscar-winning Emotional Value starring Renate Reinsve and Stellan Skarsgård, the creepy, emotional thriller The Long March , and Ildikó Enyedi’s special work, The Silent Friend. And for those looking for lighter entertainment, the Creed and Hangover trilogy can offer relaxation.

Series … One of the highlights of the month is the drama series American Hostage (21. Sept.), based on true events, in which a popular radio host (Jon Hamm) unexpectedly finds himself in the middle of a life-threatening hostage drama. The second season of the time-traveling costume drama Outlander: Blood of My Blood (19. Sept.) is also coming. The story continues with Julia (Hermione Corfield) left alone with her daughter, while Henry, separated from his love and all hope, struggles to find his way back to her. Youth (21. Sept.) also debuts, in which 50-year-old divorcee Alex (Sharon Horgan) re-enters dating while caring for her elderly parents and supporting her adult son in everyday life.

September will also be the month of European series premieres. The award-winning German drama 4 Blocks is coming, with its prequel series 4 Blocks Zero (25. Sept.). Set in 1990s Berlin, the story follows the rise of the Hamady family, focusing on family, togetherness and the hope of a new life. All four seasons of the Turkish series Dogu (4. Sept.) are coming, in which we can see the title character’s self-searching, woven with humor and self-irony, the challenges of family pressure and the pitfalls of the working world. In the French psychological thriller Paolo (25. Sept.), the working-class protagonist finds himself embroiled in a politician’s life in a confusing and tense way, the Dutch The Influencer Guru (25. Sept.) guides viewers into the secrets of the world of social media, while the Spanish series Behind the Scenes of Opus Dei features fourteen men from diverse backgrounds speaking out about the spiritual, psychological and financial abuse they suffered in Opus Dei.

HBO Original content is also expanding its offering. Topeka (11. Sept.) explores how a shocking crime case changes entire communities. And in the series Siren: The Voices of Shelley Beattie (24. Sept.) , we get an insight into the life, career and struggles with mental health of the actress and bodybuilder who lost her hearing as a child.

Also available will be the Mexican series Collision (7. Sept.), which tells the story of a mother and daughter who find themselves in conflict. As they fight for their own truth, more and more secrets come to light. And the legendary American radio show, The Howard Stern Show, is also coming (17. Sept.)

Movies ... The Oscar-winning Norwegian drama Sentimental Value (4. Sept.) starring Elle Fanning and Stellan Skarsgård will soon be available on the platform. The family drama centers on a pair of siblings who are reunited with their estranged father after a long time. During the reunion, they must not only sort out their complicated relationship, but also cope with a new character who unexpectedly enters the family’s life, an American movie star.

Ildikó Enyedi’s special film of the year, Silent Friend (4. Sept.), will also be screened, which tells the story of the encounter between man and plant through three stories, the rare moment when these two radically different perceptions nevertheless connect. The main characters, like the plants in the garden, are outsiders and lonely souls. They yearn for connection just as much as they do.

The Long March (18. Sept.) is a spine- tingling, emotional thriller that asks the agonizing question: how far are you willing to go to win? In the film, based on Stephen King’s first novel, fifty teenage boys participate in an annual walking race, but only one participant survives.

Two truly thought-provoking, high-profile pieces of content are also coming. The Evil Network – The Epstein Files (3. Sept.) is a 90-minute documentary that examines Epstein’s crimes, his human trafficking network, and the systemic failures that allowed the abuse to continue for years. And Made in EU (5. Sept.) tells the story of a woman working in a garment factory in a rural Bulgarian town who becomes the first person in her town to contract the coronavirus and is ostracized by her community. The film explores workplace exploitation and social tensions during the pandemic.

Horror fans will not be left without something new this time either: Beware the Clown (11.Sept.), in which a killer clown emerges from the depths of the cornfields to chase the main character and his new friends into a bloody game. But don’t worry, there’s more horror to come next month. For now, we’ll just tell you that October will also have exciting premieres!

Other featured film premieres include The Last Race (17. Sept.), Such Little Things (24. Sept.), Sorry, Little One (3. Sept.) and The Tour II (11. Sept.).

Good choices for family cinema are Lili and the Kangaroo (26. Sept.), Bad Boys (12. Sept.), and Puss in Boots: The Last Wish (19. Sept.).

And of course, this month won’t be without marathon movies, and you can even plan three at once: the complete Hangover trilogy is coming (10. Sept.), all three Creed films (11. Sept.), and for retro fans, three Jean-Claude Van Damme classics (3. Sept.): Double Dynamite , Cyborg and Blood Game.

Nationwide cinemas – Ghost’s unique stage world – secrets – tour close up @ Mexico City

Posted by www.rollinginbudapest.com in Entertainments, Hungary.. Tagged: , , .

GHOST-2BIGTORIG_-IMAGE (1).jpg

Ghost’s second major release concert film hitting domestic cinemas!

Pannónia Entertainment Ltd., will bring the band back to the screen after 2024, at the end of August.

Offering an exclusive two-hour experience, 2 Big to Rig will be shown in the original language in selected cinemas nationwide from August 26th, for a very limited time during the last weekend of the summer.

The Swedish formation, known for their unique costumed looks and essentially performing as a “theater rock band”, made their previous film two years ago, also in the summer, with the hugely successful Rite Here Rite Now, but their current work is completely different.

While it was created using narrative elements and directed by a screenwriter-video director, 2 Big to Rig is a more traditional, but no less grandiose concert film and behind-the-scenes documentary that chronicles the band’s monumental Skeletour world tour. The production combines spectacular concert footage with exclusive backstage moments, allowing fans to experience Ghost’s unique stage world and the secrets of the tour up close. The film is based on footage from the Mexico City shows, and places special emphasis on the cell phone-free concert experience, which created an even more intense connection between the band and the audience. 2 Big To Rig simultaneously celebrates Ghost’s spectacular live production and the closing of an important era in the band’s history.

The details of the 73-night tour, which spanned North America and Europe from April last year to February this year, did not previously flood social media due to the lack of mobile phones. Thus, the 16mm footage will definitely provide many new features for those countries and markets that – including our country – were not among the venues of the concert series, mostly due to logistical difficulties. The creators also specially recommended the cinema to ticket holders of the canceled Mexico City date, because last September the crew preserved the excitement of the events in the Latin capital, which were planned for 3 days but ended up only experiencing 2 nights, for posterity. Those who only know Hungarian need not be afraid of the original language, as the documentary part takes up only a few minutes of the running time.

The band’s characteristic continuous storytelling is not present this time, so those who are less familiar with their work will not be at such a disadvantage, because now they have a kind of “best of” selection of songs from 6 albums and some songs that were not released on them, plus of course last year’s chart-topper and tour-related “Skeletá” will also be performed.

So for Ghost fans, it’s a must-see, but basically all rock music lovers are welcome to a great, crushing summer end-of-summer party in cinemas from August 26th – tickets are now on sale!

Deep Forest – Akvárium Club Grand Hall – Budapest Hungary

Posted by www.rollinginbudapest.com in Budapest - Hungary, Entertainments, Tourism.

This slideshow requires JavaScript.

March, 4. 2027, 8 p.m.

Delighted to spreed the news, announced by Eric Mouquet – Deep Forest,  one of the pioneering and most influential names in electronic world music, will perform live in Budapest 2027.

Taking the stage at Akvárium Klub’s NagyHall, Deep Forest will bring to life more than three decades of an extraordinary musical legacy, where modern electronic sounds blend seamlessly with the traditional music and voices of cultures from around the world. The Budapest concert promises to be a truly special experience for music lovers. Iconic melodies, live
performance, electronic soundscapes and musical influences drawn from diverse cultures will come together to create moments that are both captivating and deeply immersive. It will be an evening that takes you away from the everyday and reveals why, even after more than thirty years, the musical world of Deep Forest remains so distinctive, timeless and unmistakable.

Looking back in time:
The story of Deep Forest began in the early 1990s in northern France, when Eric Mouquet and Michel Sanchez started developing a radically new musical concept. They combined electronic and ambient soundscapes with traditional vocals, organic rhythms and the musical heritage of cultures from around the world. The distinctive and instantly recognizable Deep Forest sound that emerged from this approach would later become one of the pioneering forces behind what came to be known as ethnic electronica and ambient world music.

International success arrived with their self-titled debut album, Deep Forest, released in 1992. Its iconic track Sweet Lullaby introduced the group to audiences around the world and remains one of Deep Forest’s most emblematic compositions to this day. Over the course of their career, Deep Forest have sold more than 10 million albums worldwide, and their international popularity was soon followed by recognition from the music industry.

Deep Forest received a Grammy nomination in 1994, while their 1995 album Boheme went on to win the Grammy Award for Best World Music Album in 1996. One of the album’s best-known tracks, Marta’s Song, featured renowned Hungarian folk singer Márta Sebestyén and became one of the most significant international success stories connected to Hungarian folk music.
A series of influential albums followed, including Comparsa, Made in Japan, the cinematic and atmospheric Pacifique, and Music Detected, which explored a more contemporary electronic direction. Deep Forest’s music continued to evolve, drawing inspiration from an ever-expanding range of cultures while remaining true to the idea that had defined the project from the very beginning: bringing different musical traditions together to create a new musical language without borders. Throughout
their career, Deep Forest have also been involved in numerous prestigious international collaborations. Together with Peter Gabriel, they created While the Earth Sleeps, one of the defining songs featured in Kathryn Bigelow’s film Strange Days. Over the decades, Eric Mouquet and Deep Forest have collaborated with an extraordinary range of artists, including Youssou N’Dour, Cesária Évora, Jon Anderson, Sally Oldfield and Chitose Hajime.

As a producer and composer, Eric Mouquet has also achieved significant international success beyond the world of Deep Forest. He worked with Josh Groban on the album Closer, which sold more than seven million copies worldwide, and later contributed to Groban’s Awake album as well. The track Machine featured the legendary Herbie Hancock on electric piano, while Mouquet was also involved in the collaboration between Josh Groban and Charles Aznavour on La Bohème.

Since 2005, Deep Forest has continued as Eric Mouquet’s solo project, opening new chapters in an already remarkable musical journey. The albums created since then have brought an ever-widening range of musical cultures into Deep Forest’s distinctive electronic universe. Deep Brasil drew inspiration from the sounds and traditions of Brazil, Deep Africa explored the musical heritage of the African continent, while Deep India, created with renowned Indian santoor player Rahul Sharma,
immersed itself in the rich musical traditions of India.

Experimentation and constant reinvention have remained at the heart of Mouquet’s work in recent years. Albums such as Evo Devo and Epic Circuits explored new dimensions of electronic music, while Deep Symphonic reimagined the Deep Forest sound through the expansive world of symphonic arrangements. These were followed by Burning, Deep Ocean and Crystal Clear Modular, each revealing another facet of Eric Mouquet’s continually evolving creative universe. In 2025, Live
Machine, recorded during the 2024 world tour, was released, alongside Tree of Tranquility, his latest collaboration with Rahul Sharma.

More than three decades after Deep Forest first achieved worldwide success, its musical identity remains unmistakable. Electronic and ambient soundscapes, traditional voices, organic instrumentation and the musical heritage of distant cultures come together to form a sound that exists beyond conventional boundaries. Sweet Lullaby, While the Earth Sleeps and many other defining works from the Deep Forest catalogue form part of an extraordinary musical journey in which tradition meets modernity, East meets West, and past meets present.

On March 4, 2027, this extraordinary musical world comes to Budapest, as Deep Forest – Eric Mouquet takes the stage.

The T-800 will return to cinemas during early September … Remember Hasta la vista? !

Posted by www.rollinginbudapest.com in Budapest - Hungary, Entertainments, Hungary.. Tagged: , , , , , , , , .

On the occasion of its 35th anniversary, the restored 4K 2D version of Terminator 2 – Judgment Day will be shown again, with the original Hungarian dubbing and in English, with Hungarian subtitles on the big screen. But the classic work will also be shown in the 3D version made by James Cameron. Moreover, in a unique way, in the Budapest Lurdy cinema, the film will also be shown in 3D version, with a perfect never-before-seen spatial effect, on a 60-nm Samsung Onyx LED wall.

Pannónia Entertainment celebrated the 40th anniversary of the first Terminator in 2024, and now the cult sequel is not left out of the stream. The 4K and 3D renovation of the movie version was inspired by the 2012 Titanic and 2013 Jurassic Park versions. James Cameron, together with the original crew members – e.g. the effects technicians and the cinematographer – reused the raw CGI files and copies, adding the fresh technology that was also used in the two Avatar episodes that have been released since then.

The director insisted on the cinematic version, but at the same time corrected a few bugs that bothered him with digital editing afterwards. Perhaps the two most striking scenes are during the truck chase, when we could clearly see the stunt biker in the saddle instead of Arnold Schwarzenegger at one point, and when the T-1000 breaks the front window of the tractor-trailer truck twice due to a cutting error.

The 3D version was originally planned for 2016, but the work was so time-consuming that it missed the 25th anniversary, so it was only finished in 2017, when Titanic hit the big screen on its 20th birthday after its 15th. T2’s next anniversary was washed out by the pandemic, but now, having turned 35, it will be available in cinemas again, but this time in a more limited way than 9 years ago, for only 2 weeks, in selected cinemas nationwide.

Judgment Day itself falls on August 29th, and so it will be shown in cinemas worldwide from August 27th to mid-September. It will be shown in Hungary from September 3rd, at the same time as the United Kingdom, Australia and several Western European countries.

Of course, in addition to the 3D, the 2D version also received the 4K resolution that comes with the renovation, and the bugs were patched. The director did not leave the film’s second 2D/3D premiere without comment: “T2 was made for cinemas and  new version, created with loving care, has already proven to be the best way to see the film.  It’s gratifying that it can be shown again. After 35 years it’s okay to give spoilers, but in case it bothers anyone, SPOILER ALERT: the film is about the good guys triumphing over the superintelligence of AI. And this message makes this year’s re-release perhaps more relevant than ever in our times.”

Of course, the Terminator has faithfully returned many times over the past 35 years, but they have never been able to repeat the success and impact of this indelibly historical adventure.

So on the first premiere day of the fall,  plan in advance welcoming  Hasta la vista, viewer  fan to this first opportunity in many years. The veterans, because they know what an experience it is, the new (or perhaps first-time) viewers, because they don’t know, and the Guns N’ Roses fans for the theme song. Hasta la vista, viewers!

Age limited  movie above 16 yrs. olda.

Tickets can be purchased on the spot at the LURDY CINEMA, GOBUDA CINEMA, POLE CINEMA

Posted by www.rollinginbudapest.com in Entertainments, Hungary.. Tagged: , , , , , , , , .

On October 8, Bernadett Mayer’s film Mommy Blue will be released in Hungarian cinemas through InterCom. Hungarian comedy drama.

The main characters of this personally inspired work, made with the support of the NFI Incubator program, are Anikó Für and Benett Vilmányi, but we will also see István Znamenák and Andrea Waskovics on the screen. We follow the relationship between a woman who is gradually losing her sight and her son who has just become a father. They must find healthy boundaries between dependence and care, selfishness and selflessness. The film, which features great actors, has an intimate atmosphere and is bittersweet, and despite their difficulties, the lovable characters in it exude an inextinguishable cheerfulness.

Cast: Anikó Für, Benett Vilmányi, Ildikó Hámori, Andrea Waskovics, István Znamenák. Premiere (HU): 2026.01.08.

It is no wonder that Mommy Blue has already traveled the world before its domestic premiere and has become a true festival favorite: it was featured in the Work in Progress category of the Karolvy Vary Film Festival, in the official program of the Beijing, Jerusalem, Bled and Palic festival, and will have its domestic premier at the Miskolc Cinefest.

“Opera” state-of-the-art with Vincent Cassel @ nationwide cinemas Hungary

Posted by www.rollinginbudapest.com in Entertainments, Hungary.. Tagged: , , , , , , , , , .

 

“Opera!” will be shown nationwide in art cinemas with Vincent Cassel in an important supporting role, distributed by Pannónia Entertainment Ltd.

A blend of classical film acting … traditional opera singing … both the music … special visual effects representing several eras at once, to the viewers.

Short summary … The Italian film tells the classic love story of Orpheus and Eurydice, adapted to the present day, while Vincent Cassel brings the character of the taxi driver, Charon, to life alongside the two main characters. Eurydice is fatally wounded by an unexpected gunshot at her own wedding. Her love, Orpheus, cannot accept the loss, so he sets off to the underworld to bring her back to the living. In this special adaptation, the underworld appears in the form of the mysterious Grand Hades Hotel, where Orpheus encounters strange figures and must confront his own fears and memories. His journey is accompanied by arias from world-famous operas, as the boundaries between love and death gradually blur.

The film is not a traditional musical, but a spectacular operatic fantasy, in which the story is told using well-known arias by Antonio Vivaldi, Giacomo Puccini and Giuseppe Verdi, among others. The visuals are made special by the costumes and surreal sets designed by Dolce & Gabbana.

So far the film has been shown in relatively few countries and what’s more interesting in Cassel’s homeland, France.  The musical scores go beyond classical operas and provide an interesting mix, as in addition to the aforementioned big names, songs from the synthpop of the 80s are heard, in our case with a transcription of one of Frankie Goes To Hollywood‘s hits, which truly combined the worlds of symphonic orchester and early electronic music with a truly brilliant sound mix.

The director duo has worked with a similar concept in opera houses and theaters in recent years, and they have now converted the experiences they gained there into the language of film.

This opera is raised to a new narrative and visual level in order to restore the declining popularity of lyrical storytelling to our days, i.e. they wanted to modernize and update the first libretto and address today’s generation in the language of pop with cinema. They created a blend of classical film acting and traditional opera singing, and both the music and the special and visual effects represent several eras at once, and the digital backgrounds and physical sets blend harmoniously with each other. The two main characters were chosen from hundreds of young opera singers.

This is the first production in Italy intended for direct cinema, which was shot almost entirely with virtual elements, at the Prodea Led Studio in Turin. This allowed the creation of visual world, which is key to depicting the dreamlike nature of the entire work. The creators aimed to get the most out of it, giving meaning and parallels to our time on several levels, while the technology also superbly supported the grandeur of the story itself.

This film brings classical Italian opera into a new era, while being both modern and respectful of tradition. Most probably, for those who have never heard the genre before, and/or for those who have been fans of it for a long time. It transfers the structure of the musical to the world of opera, creating a new film genre: the opera-musical.

Screenings can be found nationwide in selected cinemas with Hungarian subtitles from the 23 rd. of July, 2026. –  Duration time: 106-minute genre mix unique?

Age-restricted film above 16 yrs.
