Watch the greatest Hungarian movies on Netflix!

Thanks to Netflix, the time has come to watch the greatest Hungarian movies of the previous years, in original or English subtitled versions. 

Besides others, now you can watch:

  • the Oscar-winning Son of Saul;
  • the Oscar-nominated and Golden Bear Award-winning On Body and Soul;
  • the Bollywood remake Liza, the Fox-Fairy;
  • the biography of the Hungarian-born director of Casablanca, Curtiz;
  • movie of the Hungarian-born Hollywood director, Antal Nimród, The Whiskey Bandit;
  • several popular Hungarian movies such as 1945, Genesis, The Wednesday Child;
  • and other blockbusters, including Valami Amerika 3, BÚÉK, Pappa Pia, The Martfű horror.

Krisztina Goda is probably the record-holder among Hungarian directors in Netflix’s current offer: three of her productions are currently available: Just Sex and Nothing Else (2005), Chameleon (2008) and BÚÉK (2018).

As the Hungarian news portal Origo reports her latest movie, BÚÉK has been one of the greatest blockbusters in recent years that is still played in cinemas: the film is a Hungarian remake of the Italian hit film Perfect Strangers. It has been watched by more than 270,000 people so far.

We also have to mention the prestigious award winners such as the Oscar-, Golden Globe and Cannes Grand Prix winner Son of Saul that has reached 270,000 views so far.

The Oscar-nominated, Berlin Golden Bear Award-winning On Body and Soul is also available on Netflix, directed by Ildikó Enyedi and Alexandra Borbély, European Film Award-winning actress; 140,000 people in cinemas have watched the movie. 

Budapest Noir and the biographical movie about the director of Casablanca, Michael Curtiz should not be missed either; both of them bring us into a historical milieu.

  1. I want your help.
    I am trying to locate a movie I saw in the 1990s – to hear again the beautiful dirge (mournful solo female voice) sung over the end credits.
    I think – but I may be wrong – the film is Hungarian and was based on the Novi Sad massacre and it was in colour. All my searches end up with HIDEG NAPOK (1966) but that is in black-and-white and does not end with the beautiful song I want to hear again.

    Possibly I am mistaken about Novi Sad and/or it may not be Hungarian. I am sure the movie was about a massacre (on the Danube?) and the sad solo song that ends the movie. If anyone can help me trace the movie title, I will be very grateful.

    • Dear P. C. Chowdhury,
      Unfortunately, at the moment we can’t recall a movie that would match your description other than HIDEG NAPOK, but we will bear it in mind.
