The Witness

Banned for over a decade for its outspoken criticism of the post-WWII communist regime in Hungary, Péter Bacsós The Witness has since then achieved unparalleled cult status in its native land. Known as the best satire about communism, The Witness has become a cult classic, which was also well received by critics and general audiences alike when it was finally released outside of Hungary. Its candid and realistic portrayal of the incompetent communist regime has earned great acclaim for both the director and the film itself when it was shown at Cannes Film Festival in 1981. The Witness takes place during the height of the Rákosi Era, which was closely modeled after the ruthless and brutal Stalin regime. The film follows the life of an ordinary dike keeper, József Pelikán, who has been caught for illegally slaughtering his pig, Dezsõ. Instead of doing hard time for his \heinous\ crime, Pelikán is elevated into an important position, generally reserved for the communist elite. Of course, Pelikán is utterly clueless about his newfound luck, not to mention his new job. Even his new benefactor, the mysterious Comrade Virág, is reluctant to reveal the real reason behind Pelikáns preferential treatment. Thus, begins Pelikáns hilarious adventure deep within the \sophisticated\ communist society. One failure after another the incompetent Pelikán is elevated higher and higher on the communist echelon, all the while remaining completely clueless about his promotions. Until one day, when he gets called for to return the \favour\ by falsely testifying against his long-time friend in a mock-up show trial.

As the bus emerges from a tunnel, everything is suddenly quite still: the streets and buildings are all empty and theres not a soul to be seen; its as if everyone has suddenly been swallowed by the earth. Only the millions of neon lights continue to blink, as if nothing has happened. The eclectic group of passengers seek refuge in a deserted café and discuss what they should do.

The film is a political satire that would talk about how people from all castes can become archakas in temples. If that sounded like the stance was going to be a progressive one, it was only half the description and is already quite obvious that the film attacks caste-based reservation in education and jobs.
