Péter Fazakas’s The Game (A játszma) was awarded the Violetta d’Argento prize at this year’s Parma Film Festival, the National Film Institute said on Monday.
The jury recognised the Hungarian movie for its “excellent” directing and performances, and its “integrity between photography and music”, the institute said in a statement. The Game is a sequel to Péter Bergendy’s 2011 film The Exam, with the same characters played by János Kulka, Zsolt Nagy, Gabriella Hámori, and Péter Scherer, as well as Viktória Staub as a new actress in the cast. The plot is set in Budapest in 1963, and is centred around rivalry between two officers of the communist state security services.
