Meteo (1990) User Reviews

Brilliant!...

This is an unbelievable film from Hungary with an extraordinary atmosphere and plot. A meteorologist living in his sink, watching TV all day long; one day comes up with some men trying to use his genius on computers for cheating in horse-races. It is an astonishing quotation on what our communication age did to individual people. Perfect acting and cinematography. If you can, find it and see it!

This is one of my favorite Hungarian movies!

IMHO this film is comparable to Stalker. A great anti-utopia with very good music! I could understand what is going on only when I saw it on the 3rd time. :-) It was taken in a beer factory in Budapest. The title is done with the help of Borland Turbo C 2.0 (does anybody remember this IDE? :-). The whole movie is very dark, rude and somehow morbid. Everybody want to leave this brake-down-looking world, but they have to get some money first. One of them creates a program, one get some money and they put on the horse-racing. Not easy to find a place where You can watch it, but it worth to see it! I have the movie on VHS (recorded from the TV) and the music on LP.

Wow

Almost 30 years later and this film still haunts me. Art direction is brilliant.
