Budapest Noir
Directed by Éva Gárdos
Produced by Pioneer Pictures, Big Bang Media
A shadowy 1930s murder mystery steeped in period atmosphere and political dread, where a dogged reporter uncovers corruption in a city sliding toward fascism.
A murder mystery set in 1936 Budapest, just as Hungary was preparing to align itself with Hitler. A beautiful young girl is found dead and nobody wants to investigate—except Gordon, a crime reporter who has a gut feeling that things are not what they seem.
