Overview
Zsuzsi has it all — young, in love, doing well. Then one morning she wakes and the whole room seems to move: the armchair drifts toward the door, the wardrobe slides toward the window, and she can't catch her breath. She thinks it's a heart attack. It isn't. It's panic.
That single moment sends her into the Panic Clinic, where an almost-too-ambitious therapist takes her case, and where she slowly realizes everyone around her is a little unhinged too — her mother, her boyfriend, her younger brother and his girlfriend, her mother's friend, the cops, maybe even the firefighters. The film's real question is quiet but sharp: will Zsuzsi settle into the lonely life of the anxious, or shake herself awake?
Till Attila's Pánik handles anxiety with humour rather than gloom. It's warm, fast, and a little absurd, carried by a strong ensemble of Hungarian actors. Gubik Ági's lead performance was singled out at the 39th Hungarian Film Week, and the film also took the Internet Audience Award there. For collectors of contemporary Hungarian cinema, this is a clean copy of a title that doesn't surface often, and one of the few editions that ships with full English subtitles.
