The Ambassador to Bern (2014)
THE AMBASSADOR TO BERN is a political thriller of first-time director Attila Szasz that chronicles the day of August 16, 1958, when two Hungarian immigrants (Tamas Szabo Kimmel and Jozsef Kadas) broke into the Hungarian embassy in Bern and took the ambassador (Janos Kulka) hostage. As the Swiss police surrounds the building and a group of Hungarian immigrants shows up on the street to demonstrate, a tense, twist-filled hostage drama plays out behind the closed doors of the embassy. The screenplay by Norbert Kobli (THE EXAM) is based on a true story about the aftermath of the 1956 Hungarian revolution.

    A little bit overrated, but worth a watch
    I think the biggest problem with the film is, that it is really made only for the Hungarian audience, as it requires some knowledge of the history of this nation. And even if you got this knowledge, the motivations of the characters are not really clear throughout the entire story. So the film is far from perfect, BUT apart from that, The Ambassador to Bern is a good, more than watchable movie in every aspect. János Kulka (as usual from him), gives a great performance as the title character, and the supporting actors are quite good too. It is basically a hostage drama, entertaining to almost everyone, and also pretty short, so definitely worth a watch, especially if you're a Hungarian or a fan of Hungarian movies.
