THREE THOUSAND NUMBERED PIECES

Ádám Császi
HU, 2022, 97 Min

Cocky political correctness satire. Under the guise of supposed “help” for minorities, a Berlin theater is exhibiting Roma as if in a zoo. Just when the curtain falls, all the pretense of the intellectual do-gooders is being dropped.

A Hungarian director is staging a play with Roma in which they are exhibited as if in a zoo. This “poverty porn” is sold to Deutsches Theater, where the anguish continues during rehearsals without anyone being interested in the perspectives of the Roma and their actual stories. Ádám Császi, known for his opposition to the Orbán regime, presents a masterful and provocative reflection on systemic racism, faked altruism and the ambivalence of woke culture. He succeeds to produce a masterpiece of a sequence shot with hallucinatory dimensions. A yell of rage kind of film based on the play “Gypsy Hungarian,” written by the members of a Roma theater group fighting against discrimination and stigmatization of their people.
