The prime reason for the anticipation with which the film was greeted in Hungary, however, was its budget.
In other words, the film was seen in Hungary as a pet project of the government which had devoured a disproportionate share of the country's scarce resources for film-making, and was bound to have a propagandistic edge to it.
