Onódy, a hatvanas évek császára

In the mid-1960s, the Communist Party saw that the time had come to attack some of the key figures of domestic economic life, showing the country and the world who was the master of the house. Lajos Onódy, the successful catering industry manager, was selected for the main role of the showcase trial.

Directed by Tamás Almási, Onódy, a hatvanas évek császára leans on a strong ensemble — János Bán, László Méhes, Gábor Kocsó — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about documentary titles of 2023.
