As an eventful summer approaches in the world of sports, Warner Bros. Discovery‘s weekly thematic magazine show The Power of Sport returns on Wednesdays, which sheds an exciting light on current events in the world of sports through human stories and issues.

The document series “The Power of Sport” started recently on the Eurosport channel, in which viewers can watch interviews with the world’s top athletes. The 30-minute, 15-minute series starts with exclusive interviews: among others, the Polish soccer player with an amputated leg, Marcin Oleksy, and Gabriela Andersen-Schiess, a former Swiss long-distance runner, who took part in the first Olympic women’s marathon at the 1984 Summer Olympic Games.

Scott Young, Vice President of Content and Production, Warner Bros. Discovery Sports Europe, said: “The power of sport lies in its ability to unite people around the world through diversity, competition and, above all, the sacrifices made by athletes who inspire fans to achieve outstanding performances. As we prepare for what promises to be a particularly exciting summer in the world of sports, our goal is to get to know the athletes on a deeper level with the fans and tell their stories, with which we go far beyond content limited to live broadcasts.”

The first season of The Power of Sport was launched spring 2022 and featured more than 60 reports, including interviews with Janja Garnbret (Olympic sport climbing champion), Susie Wolff (CEO of ROKiT Venturi Racing), Tim Gajser (three-time motocross world champion) and with Bartosz Zmarzlik (two-time slag engine world champion).

Rambo is Back in Action @ the Hungarian Cinemas

Posted by www.rollinginbudapest.com in Uncategorized. Tagged: , , , , , , , , , .

unnamed

Digitally restored 4K version.

The Pannónia Entertainment screenings starting during the second half of spring with a limited-time re-presentation of Sylvester Stallone’s classics.
Having a list the characters played by Sylvester Stallone by name,  would certainly mention the two R’s, Rocky and Rambo, without them being not in order. The screenings begins from April 13-19. starting with 1982’s Rambo – First Blood, which does not include its Vietnam veteran protagonist in its original title. Most of the screenings will be dubbed, but at the Cinema MOM will also offer subtitle version for those who prefer it in the original in English language.

First Blood is a more restrained, progressive, less big, but nonetheless memorable action-enriched cat-and-mouse play with a thriller in some places, which holds an actually deep drama behind it. These are precisely the strengths that made it permanent. Rocky IV is even more illustrative of the decade, but how slapstick became action movies with the two ’80s episodes is another story.

The 1985 Rambo II. program week will be from April 20-26. and the 1988 Rambo III. also will be shown from April 27 to May 3.
Either those who already fell in love with the “super soldier” in the VHS era, or those who would like to see -to get to know  Stallone now may watch as looking at the time capsule of the 80s is their place to be.

Screenings will take place at Budapest’s  Lurdy Cinema, Cinema MOM, GOBUDA Cinema, Pólus Cinema.

JÁVORI FEGYA’S MUSICAL FOR THE FIRST TIME IN BUDAPEST!
Friday, April 14, 7 p.m. and Friday, May 12, 7 p.m. @ RaM-ArT Theater – Budapest
Director: Gábor Miklós Kerényi KERO
Main actors: Tünde Frankó , P. Szilveszter Szabó & Máté Miklós Kerényi

The story begins somewhere where Fiddler on the Roof ends, and tells the story of Levi (Lőb) Strauss‘ adventurous life, career, and the birth of jeans.

The “Lévi Story!” musical inspired by the life of the denim king Levi Strauss and the American emigration wave. The “invention” of Levi’s trousers is brought to life under the direction of Gábor Miklós Kerényi and performed by stars actors. In the performance, beautiful melodies, heart-pumping rhythms, and heartfelt klezmer music captivate the audience. The story about the invention of blue jeans tells about exciting adventures, serious social problems and a beautiful love. The performance is a production of the Pesti Broadway Foundation.

The background of the creation of the production: Gábor Kerényi Miklós KERO – director of the play, has been planning to present the play for almost nine years. As said: Q.: “This production was not given the slogan ‘world success musical’ for nothing, as we couldn’t find a more well-known piece of clothing than jeans. I hope that the show will go abroad, to Israel and America.”

Kossuth Prize-winning composer Ferenc Jávori “Fegya” commented on the production told Q.: “The story is so strong that this performance could stand on any stage in the world.” He did not deviate from the musical style that has become the trademark of the Budapest Klezmer Band … the musical has country music, Munich beer songs, as well as to be modern musical.

The witty lyrics by Péter Sziámi Müller well-constructed story between spectacular sets and costumes evoke the market of a small German town, a street in New York, a terrifying boat trip near Cape Magellan, and a gold diggers’ tavern in the mountains around San Francisco.

The actors are supported by a dynamic singer-dancer ensemble, with the participation of a seven-piece, typical klezmer band.

A creepy, moving and sad film drama based on a true story about the life of John Merrick who lived in the 19th century.

Director: David Lynch

Brilliant performances by: Sir Anthony Hopkins and John Hurt

Length of screening: 120 mins. Age limit: 16.

The anniversary version of The Elephant Man will be @ Hungary’s cinemas under the care of Pannónia Entertainment Ltd.

Premiere: Sunday; January. 29, 2023.

Synopsis …In Victorian London, Dr. Frederick Treves with the London Hospital comes across a circus sideshow attraction run by a man named Bytes called “The Elephant Man”. In actuality, the creature on display is indeed a man, twenty-one-year-old Joseph “John” Merrick, who has several physical deformities, including an oversized and disfigured skull, and an oversized and disfigured right shoulder. Brutish Bytes, his “owner”, only wants whatever he can get economically by presenting Merrick as a freak. Treves manages to bring Merrick under his care at the hospital, not without several of his own obstacles, including being questioned by those in authority since Merrick cannot be cured. Treves initially believes Bytes’ assertion that mute Merrick is an imbecile, but ultimately learns that Merrick can speak and is a well-read and articulate man. As news of Merrick hits the London newspapers, he becomes a celebrated curiosity among London’s upper class, including with Mrs. Kendal, a famed actress. Despite being treated much more humanely, the question becomes whether Treves’ actions are a further exploitation of Merrick. And as Merrick becomes more famous, others try to get their two-cents worth from who still remains a curiosity and a freak to now, including to Bytes, who has since lost his meal ticket. Actually, his story is both moving and sad, as a result of the complications he lived only 27 years.

David Lynch, the directors of Twin Peaks, Lost World, Mulholland Drive, Blue Velvet, nominated for 8 Oscars, and his visionary story, which was brought to black-and-white film.

Lucian Freud: A Self Portrait – English Art Documentary 2020.

Posted by www.rollinginbudapest.com in Uncategorized. Tagged: , , , , , , , , .

publicpreview Lucian Freud Art documentary

Length of the film: 80 minutes

In January 2023, Pannonia Entertainment Ltd. will continue EOS, Exhibition on Screen, a British fine art series, and in addition to publishing new episodes, it will return again and again to portraits of previous, highly successful or even curiosities.

The Royal Academy of Arts in London, in collaboration with the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston, collected and presented Lucian Freud’s self-portraits for the first time between October 27, 2019 and January 26, 2020.

The exhibition featured more than 50 paintings, prints and drawings by the master of contemporary British art who died in 2011, the grandson of Sigmund Freud. Today’s world-famous painter is among those of the XX. he was one of the artists of the 20th century who, for decades, consistently directed their attention to themselves again and again, and continuously recorded the changes in their self-image.

When Lucian Freud was asked if he was a good model for himself, he replied: “No, I do not accept what I am confronted with when I look at myself; and this is where the problem begins.” It is precisely this “problem” that makes Freud’s self-portraits so fascinating. With each image, he began to express himself anew.

The exhibition brings together works from seven decades, the earliest picture was taken in 1939, and the last one 64 years later. The selection offers a fascinating insight into both the creator’s psyche and his artistic development. The pictures not only report on the aging process, but also reflect changes in self-representation and self-evaluation.

In his youth, we see the painter as the Greek hero Acteon, and finally as a drooping old man who stands naked in front of us in boots without laces. We can follow his creative methods from his early graphic works dominated by lines to the pastose paintings built from thick brush strokes, in which he found his own style.

For Lucian Freud, with the act of looking and observing, the gaze embraces the universe. The film from the exhibition is a unique opportunity to get to know the art and thinking of a great contemporary master.

In English, with Hungarian subtitles – Age limit is over 12 years.
