What it’s about. It is 1989, the year of the demise of socialism in eastern Europe. Nevertheless, the one theme of Junk Movie does not refer to this historical moment of high ideals, quite the contrary, the wild, burlesque of a motif-mozaic seems merely to stick it’s tongue out at the arrogant players of politics who have their heads stuck in the clouds. The film rudely points out the mystery and unapproachability surrounding the every-day existence of politics. The scene is a greasy, falling-down block of a pub called the Gólya and its immediate surroundings.

Who’s in it. Junk Movie stars Ági Szirtes as Gizi, Zoltán Mucsi as Kapa, Sándor Gáspár as Joó Géza and András Szőke as Béla, among others.
