Si tratta di fi lm che hanno riconfermato la rinnovata vitalità di un’arte nella quale l’Italia ha avuto nel passato grandi maestri; un’arte che ha saputo esprimere e rappresentare la vita e la storia degli italiani e che continua a raccontare un Paese pieno di mille sfaccettature, non sempre facile da interpretare da parte del pubblico straniero, ma pur sempre amato e guardato con simpatia.

ROLLING BACK IN TIME TO 1964!

„HARD DAYS NIGHT” BY THE FOUR LADS FROM LIVERPOOL ARE ON SCREEN AGAIN!

URÁNIA CINEMA – BUDAPEST – OCTOBER, 30. 2014.

Some folks were not even born in those days … some already screamed and shouted. Will be interesting to see what to-day’s  youngsters think about the movie.

Going out to the Uránia Cinema and to watch the Hard Days Night movie is like hitting two birds with one stone!

No need to raise your eyebrow, here comes the answer ….

The Urania Cinema is not only one of the oldest and prodigious cinema in Budapest, but also one of Europe’s most marvellous theater building, built-in neo-Moorish style -1894.  Way back in time, originally it was operating as a club, science promotional events later scene, eventually fated adventure movies and last but not least over the past years, beside classical and contemporary films. The Film Theater presents the world’s awesome productions sharing films taken at the New York Metropolitan Opera, the Moscow Bolsoj Ballet, the Saint Petersburg Mariinsky Theater, the London Royal Opera House, the National Theater, and Shakespeare’s Globe Theater with their digital HD projectors and sound system these become very popular by the movie lovers.

It is also a moody meeting place for public to be in a superb environment to have a cuppa of tea and snacks whilst waiting to have your seat and watch one of your interested films. Well, this was just a short background added to the Uránia Cinema, as a drop of water into the Sea.

The real update is about THE FILM which most probably by millions around the world have had already seen when they were in their teens. Yup, talking about the „HARD DAYS NIGHT” Staring John Lennon R.I.P. , Sir Paul McCartney, George Harrison R.I.P. and Ringo Starr, directed by Richard Lester.

The movie is celebrating its 50th anniversary and can be seen as digitally restored in high quality pictures and remastered 5.1 surround sound on the big screen. The film is coming out again in your town and all over the world again. The sound was mixed by Giles Martin, the Beatles producer George Martin’s son who’s name is also connected to the legendary Abbey Road Studios.

The movie takes place in ’64 and is a documentary, ​ shows a realistic picture in 24Hs where and what’s about to happen before a live recording the television show with the four lads from Liverpool, namely THE BEATLES … John, Paul, George and Ringo. The four lads decided for the first time not to pay too much attention to the rules they are given and go on their own to get a taste a bit of freedom. So they circumvented as many rules as they bear to do so. The figure that twists-and-turns the happenings is caused by Paul’s grandpa, who needs extra attention.  More than a dozen of well-known Beatles tunes fulfill the air at the cinema and listening to these „oldies” will surely bring back many folks cool and superb memories that’s for sure.

The „Hard Days Night” first comeback intro started on October, 30. 2014. at the Uránia Cinema in Budapest and in the forthcoming weeks it will be covered at 14 countrywide at main cinemas … at  Balatonfüred, Debrecen, Eger, Hévíz, Jászberény, Kecskemét, Miskolc, Poroszló, Salgótarján, Szeged, Szentgotthárd, Szolnok, Szombathely és Tapolca.

 Many locals and foreigners staying, working in Budapest already know that this is the one-and-only city in the world that has open year round operating more than eleven indoor and out-door hot mineral baths, not to mention the dozens-and-dozens countrywide.

Whether visiting any thermal baths either in Budapest or throughout the country is also beside healing or pleasure a tourist attraction at these historical monuments.

The Dandár street’s mineral bath was opened to the public in 1930 originally operated as a sanitary bath and was renewed in 1936. During WW2 it was hardly damaged and in 1945 it has been reopened and operating.  In 1978, after a complete renovation the mineral bath was put into operation.

On the occasion of two outdoor swimming pools which have had been added at the original Dandár Bath a offical opening ceremony took place on Thursday at District, IX., on the Dandár utca (Brigade Street ) in Budapest.  Upon the opening Gábor Bagdy – Deputy Mayor in his speech pointed out that the Economist Intelligence Unit’s ranking of this livable city of Budapest has been among the top 50, ahead of New York and London, as well as regional cities such as Prague and Bratislava. With these new facilities high hopes to entice locals and foreigners  in helping  to maintain health and relaxation  any day of the week.

The outdoor pool construction company started in 2010, was now part of ending a short-term program. Based on the medium-term vision for the outdoor pool will be opened all year. As for the long-term plan next to the spa will be built a hotel said László Szőke CEO of Budapest Thermal Bath Ltd.

János Bácskai – Mayor of District – IX., Budapest  , said that for ages the Dandár Bath was living in the public consciousness as a sanitary bath.  To-day the bath has been renewed and can be considered as a  family friendly spa in the capital. The prices are way under  than the well-known mineral baths in Budapest.  He added he hopes that from now on at the District IX.,  called  Ferencváros will soon be known as the latest low-budget spa with high standards.

After the opening speeches, the Manager of the Dandár Mineral Bath –  Ms. Orsolya Vékes took us around to show the baths new venues explaining some facts about the bath … There is three inside pool with water temperature of 20°36°38°Celsius. The mineral water composition exists with calcium, magnesium, hydrogen-carbonate and sulphate-chloride, also containing sodium, with a substantial content of fluoride ions. Also added until October, 15  free to visit the outdoor pool without extra fee, only by the  purchase of the inside pool ticket. The Dandár bath also offers student ticket for the price of 1000HUF.

The neighbour building is less famous  known by many tourist  especially arriving from Europe. It houses the Zwack Unicum Museum.   Mr. Zwack (RIP), daughter  Izabella Zwack also attended the opening ceremony  who brought a taste of the Zwack unicum.

More to it seen the Hop-on… Hop-off  buses has a stop at the Zwack Museum so easy to spend some time to recharge yourself doing the tour around Budapest.

Even the district’s major said it will be a dream come true when there will be a pipe filled with the Zwack Unicum coming through the neighbour  walls into the  venue of the mineral bath to heal our body inside and outside.

Dates:  September,19-21.2014.

Venue: Vajdahunyad Castle at th City Park – Budapest

 

The time has come to visit the First Fish and Wild Game Meat Festival in Budapest whereas  an opportunity comes to the doorstep for visitors to taste the different regions seasoning of the  famous Hungaricum  – Fish Soup and other fish delights from the region of Hungary. The Carpathian Basin is still among the richest regions of  wild  game meat of wildlife in Europe. These wild game meat specialities as the pheasant , rabbit, venison, wild boar,  deer  will be cooked on the spot and worthwhile to taste if not all of them in one day then go back the next day and continue having more unique samples which  for many might not have at a regular daily meals.

Here in the coming three days go for it, see and learn how to cook a real Hungarian Fish Soup, but that is not all to gain during the 3-days. Beside the food of plenty, the professional craft breweries brought domestic and international beers, so need not have to go on a hunt to reach a pint of  a smooth beer of a kind to follow-up to pleasantly rinse the throat, of what else than a nice cold fresh craft beer, but if some like it hot, then may go for a shot of homemade Pálinka or go for the Hungarian wines to ease the thirst.

Outlining a couple of craft beers that brought attention … first of all the Kentucky brand as a beer caught the attention for many and stopped by the stand to taste what is it like, cause for many the Kentucky name is connected to the world-famous whiskies.  This year for the first time to arrive to Budapest’s attending at the Fish and Wild Game Meat Festival (also can be visited at the  Főzedefeszt – Street Food Fair on the Andrássy Boulevard) the home town of whiskiers at Kentucky.  Found out from the twin young ladies at the stand the following … the Alltech Lexington Brewery and Distilling Co. produce craft beers are in barrels and bottles. On the spot the visitors could have a taste draft beer on the tap of Kentucky Ale and the Kentucky IPA.  Bottled ones were out on display: Bourbon Barrel Ale, Kentucky Ale, Kentucky Bourbon Barrel Stout, Kentucky IPA and the Kentucky Kölsch. Once tasted the Alltech beers most probably  the true beer lovers will like what they have tasted. Just in brief a few words about the Alltech’s beer. Developed in 2000 by Irish entrepreneur Dr. Pearse Lyons – founder and president of Alltech. To-day become the brewery’s flagship brew, capitalizing on the brewery’s proximity to fresh Kentucky bourbon barrels. The unique barrel-aged seasonal series  and  has collected numerous awards. In 2012., the company became part of the world-renowned Kentucky Bourbon Trail® with the opening of its Town Branch Distillery, which crafts Town Branch® Bourbon, Town Branch® Rye, Pearse Lyons Reserve® malt whiskey Bluegrass Sundown® and  bourbon-infused coffee liqueur… now I bet this sounds already mouthwatering for the beer lovers.

The Original Paulaner arriving from Munich had a grand stand  and the Bavarian beer is already well-known by the Hungarians and foreigners from all over Europe  and foreigners visiting, staying in Budapest. The Hungarian fruity beer flavors  became rather popular by the young adults and many homemade beers produced with fresh fruits from the regions of Hungary.

For kids to make their day, hills of sweets and candies,  stands of toys, ice-cream, candyfloss and to learn about wild animals in the forest are booklets and lectures. Probably the most fun they had been riding the ponies. For young and elder folks  having timeout at the Flee Market  is a place where the  clock’s hand run faster than you can.

Summing up one of the days adventures at the 1. Fish and Wild Game Meat Festival, visitors to be coming out to the venue should not go on by, passing the Kentucky stand without tasting there the  heavenly beer.  Not really a beer lover, yet  by tasting, got me some of Kentucky craft beers for the rainy days … and as the old songs says … “I can’t stop loving you, its useless to say…”  Hurray Kentucky Beers to arrive to Budapest!
