‘We are the family’: low-budget thriller highlights Hungary’s election tension

AI Summary
A low-budget Hungarian thriller, "Feels Like Home," is drawing large crowds in Budapest ahead of the country's pivotal parliamentary elections on April 12th. The film depicts a saleswoman abducted into a family controlled by an authoritarian figure, mirroring, for some viewers, the current political climate in Hungary. While director Gábor Holtai states the film wasn't intentionally created as a metaphor for life under Prime Minister Viktor Orbán, many see parallels between the film's themes and Orbán's alleged capture of institutions and enrichment of loyalists. The film's release coincides with a strong challenge to Orbán from Péter Magyar, leader of the newly founded Tisza party. Some viewers are wearing the party's logo to showings of the film.
