Woody Allen sent a heartwarming VIDEO message to Hungary and Budapest
The world premiere of Woody Allen’s ‘Brooklyn Story’ occured yesterday in Budapest. Therefore, the American filmmaker, actor, and comedian sent a video message to his Hungarian fans, Hungary and Budapest.
Interestingly, Woody Allen wrote the play during the pandemic. It tells the story of a gangster and his family as they acquire a stolen Raphael. As a result, they have to negotiate with various people searching for the painting, from the police to the mob. The story aims to reveal whether art can make people better.
In Budapest, Orlai Production staged the comedy. The main cast included “Máté Mészáros, Zsuzsa Járó, Judit Cseh, Milán Schruff, Lili László, Dominika Panna BÃró, Barnabás Rohonyi, Barnabás Dékány, Martin Mészáros, and Béla Ficzere. The production is directed by Máté Szabó, with the Hungarian text by Gergely Zöldi, set design by Csörsz Khell, and costumes by Györgyi Szakács”, woodyallenpages.com wrote.
The premiere was in the Belvárosi SzÃnház (“City Centre Theatre”).
Woody Allen (88) sent a message to the Hungarians before the Budapest world premiere
Woody Allen thanked everybody who contributed to putting his play on stage for the hard work. He said Budapest had always been a meaningful city for him since he had some wonderful jazz concerts here. He added that he made a highly successful film in the Hungarian capital (“Love and Death”) and had the privilege of living here for a few months.
“I had a charming time there”, he highlighted. He said that the Hungarian level of acting and directing was high, so he was not concerned at all about the premiere of his play. “Everybody is first class, so I’m completely relaxed”, he added, despite being thousands of miles away.
He said that in a few weeks, he would turn 89, so half of his life was over already. He hopes that in the second half, he will get a chance to return to Budapest to make another film here.
