The Witness (A tanú in Hungarian) is a fantastic satire film about the life of the common man under Soviet socialism. It’s required viewing for our literature classes. Watching it before learning more about the Soviet Union and Europe, and after, you pick up on completely different nuances of life at the time.

I’ve been meaning to watch it for years, thanks for reminding me. I watched half of it when I was a kid but didn’t really understand it yet.

Can I ask where you’re from that it’s a requirement in school? Or was it only in your school?
