The Man of Gold
“In the bustling heart of 19th century Budapest, ‘The Man of Gold’ (1962) unveils the intoxicating journey of Jóska Lelesz, an ambitious trader who rises to wealth and power. As he navigates the treacherous waters of the Danube and the even more precarious societal hierarchies, Lelesz confronts greed, betrayal, and a haunting past. While his meteoric rise captures the city’s admiration, it also attracts envy and deceit from those lurking in the shadows. Amid the backdrop of a rapidly changing Hungary, love and loyalty are tested, and moral lines blur. At the core of this cinematic tapestry is the age-old question: What price is one willing to pay for gold, and at what cost to one’s soul? Experience a tale where passion, ambition, and destiny collide in a dance as old as time itself.”
