Released in 1999, Nekem lámpást adott kezembe az Úr Pesten is a comedia and drama film directed by Miklós Jancsó, running about 103 minutes. “Ha én állat lennék, nem tartanék embert a lakásban...” — that tagline sets the tone.

What it’s about. In the Kerepesi Street cemetery, three grave diggers contemplate the fate of the world, then they step out of this role and in a sequence of episodes they play the typical figures of contemporary Hungarian reality, the fat cat, the swashbuckler, the victim, underworld chieftains, and present little absurd dramas of love, marriage, friendship, public order and legal safety. The author and the film director walk among them all the time, contemplating, laughing at their plays. The stories starting from the graveyard and returning there warn of the inevitability of death. The author and the director (Gyula Hernádi and Miklós Jancsó) wisely make friends with death.
