Dropped into a web of family, sexual, political and romantic relationships where nothing is quite what it seems. One event leads to something else, people appear in one situation and reappear in another and by the end the lives of 22 people intersect in unpredictable ways during a 90-minute period on one magical night in the city they share.
“Film of The Week. Treasure City is an enchanting ensemble tale of a Hungarian city at twilight. A spellbinding film, where the city is as much a character as its inhabitants. Hajdu’s superbly stylish cinematography magnifies small interactions, resulting in a quiet contemplation of present-day Hungary’s generational and sociopolitical divides. A fleeting but cinematically-beguiling glimpse at a society’s demons as they come out to stalk the streets after sunset” – Emily Maskell, THE CALVERT JOURNAL
“Anger, confusion and despair are the keynotes of this one-night-in-a-city film… opaque and withdrawn, and with a muted and discreet kind of surrealism.” 4 stars – Peter Bradshaw, THE GUARDIAN
“‘Treasure City’ begs repeat viewings to soak up details you might have missed. Thoroughly intoxicating, one of those all too rare films that keep you entranced, blissfully ignorant of what might happen next.” Eric Hillis, THE MOVIE WAFFLER
