Un passeport Hongrois (2001) Online

This documentary reflects a story that did happen to many people, not only from Brasil, but to those who were descending from immigrant families. The director Mrs. Kogut, is specially good in telling the story, because were facts that happened to herself. The movie shows how the bureaucracies of 3 different locations, in 3 different countries, can make some actions that appear to be simple, not so easy or straight. Besides of telling a true story, Sandra Kogut makes a demonstration, and a kind of critics, to the diplomatic and state workers all around the world to accomplish some easy-looking tasks. A curious point of the film is its multilingual characteristics, with dialogs in Portuguese (when showing the dialogs in Brasil), English (with her family in Hungary), Hungarian (the families speaking among themselves)and French (spoken with Hungarian Embassy in Paris). The copy I saw, had the subtitles into Portuguese, so everybody could follow the story. It as an excellent example to each one who sees this film to make his own judgment. Another nice point is that the film has some beautiful panorama from all the countries where the action happens. In summary a good documentary film, with an interesting theme, done with good professionalism.
