Three Thousand Numbered Pieces (2022) User Reviews

Worth a watch

[remuse · 9/10 · 21 May 2023]

The most unique film I've seen recently. Important questions, painful truths with humor instead of fake pathos. The whole theatre concept is genius, and makes fun of the white guilt hypocrisy and the misery porn that audiences love to see to feel they are 'good people'. I wish there were more hungarian films like this, which are not just for hungarians, and much more opportunities for roma actresses and actors to tell such stories honestly.

It's not everybody's cup of tea, I went with two off my classmates from film school, and one of them didn't know what to do with it. I often found it hilarious, also coming from theatre background and knowing this scene so many things are spot on.

Satire to critical film

This is one of the best films I have ever seen. The whole film was hilarious, I loved how so many people saw this as "critical film which doesn't offer the solution" while to me film was more of a satire to critical film. Loved the songs, loved the camera work, loved how film keeps reminding that you are the audience and seeing the experience of others doesn't mean you understand it.

I loved how the film is blurring the reality and play, how the whole time until scene ends I kept wondering if it is about real life or is now a piece of scene that they are playing in film? Or in their play?

I loved the experience and representation: just like in real life it is white people doing researches on Roma and speaking for them. I loved that there was not a single moment I felt bad or pity for characters. I saw them all as just people and I loved the way they managed to do that.
