About This Movie
The Midas Touch (1989) is a captivating drama that dives deep into the shadows of post-WW2 Hungary, beautifully capturing the tension leading up to the '56 revolt. The pacing feels deliberate, almost reflective, allowing the viewer to truly absorb the weight of the main character's journey. He’s entrenched in Budapest's black market, convinced he can wield power over lives and fates, but the film poignantly illustrates that some things elude even the wealthiest. The performances are gritty and raw, pulling you right into the era's struggles. The atmosphere is thick, a palpable sense of despair mixed with fleeting hope. It’s a unique piece that showcases a tumultuous time with a very personal lens.
