This Hungarian hoax-cult film is truly unique as like we should say in Hungarian an unicum. The characters and also the story line, both draws about the Hungarian reality of the '90s. The main actor and director of this movie is Rudolf Péter, as on the screen called 'Lali'. He presents his humorous and unfortunate fate in a Hungarian village. 'Lali' tries to figure out his life, rather unlikely with less success because he has never get peaceful life, something was always happening around him. Lali is running a mobile-food truck business in the middle of nowhere, try to help for his friends but bad luck pursues him every time. For example he sold a winner lottery ticket and as he has got his dream car (after more years delay) it has been destroyed by a truck before he was able to drive it at the first time.
This film ranks the biggest names of the Hungarian film and theatre industry. Absolutely tireless, genius cult film filled with characters who would carry a movie on their backs so together, it is frantic what they do! Chocy (Chocolate), Gaben or Fox's speeches are wall-to-wall, one-liners that can be quoted, and then there's Kálloy Molnár's iconic cabinet-building in the role of the stupid buyer, and the icing on the cake is Lajos Otto as Sanyi, who is worth every minute of gold.
Highly recommend 'Üvegtigris' to anyone who wants to have a nostalgic experience for the socialist era of the 1990s. It is a very divisive film but most Hungarians like it.
Due to the scenes on the shield, it is not recommended for the younger age group.
