So, 'Budapest, amiért szeretem' is kind of an interesting piece. It’s like István Szabó decided to blend these eight shorts into one narrative tapestry of Budapest. The atmosphere really reflects a deep affection for the city, with all these motifs that echo throughout Szabó's other works—there's a lyrical quality to the visuals that gives it a unique pulse. The pacing feels intentional, almost meditative at times, as it allows you to soak in the sights and sounds. You get this intimate glimpse of Budapest, and it's more than just a travelogue; it’s like a love letter captured in film. It's not exactly well-known, so there’s definitely a niche interest in getting your hands on a copy if you're into Hungarian cinema or short films.
This film has seen limited releases, making it somewhat of a rarity for collectors. It’s often included in discussions of lesser-known Hungarian works, but finding original prints can be a challenge. The scarcity adds to its allure for those who appreciate Szabó’s distinctive style and thematic explorations.
