I don't wanna rain on anybody's parade, but this was a very bad movie, and I am appalled that so many highly regarded actors and actresses actually signed up for it. I lived in Budapest in the late 80's and early 90's - not exactly on the featured "Harpoon Street," but I still doubt that the film had any roots in reality. The vignettes (or whatever we wanna call them) were bizarre and nonsensical, making the movie (almost) exactly what the title is: a train wreck. As for the puns and references, I'm assuming that "Sernevál" was supposed to be the swine-equivalent of Barnevál, but as such, it completely lacks the witty pun in the original name.

For a GOOD depiction of the life in post-Eastern-Bloc Hungary, I'd rather recommend "Édes Emma, drága Böbe," which is indeed excellent movie (ironically with a notable overlap in the cast). Arguably, it is a completely different genre, so the comparison is not 100% fair, but the point remains: Roncsfilm is a stinker, even as a comedy.
