I watched Peter Bacho's 1969 film The Witness. I recently saw a sequel to Witness Again, made in 1995, and I watched it, as they say, I wish I hadn’t. Of course, this is again a satire, this time for a later period of Hungarian society. Local capitalists with all the buying and selling have already appeared, local nationalist extremists, small political technologists, and so on. Josef Pelican, of course, did not become smarter during this time and is again drawn against his will into all political events. But this time everything turned out much less talented, alas, everything looks quite tense, heavy and not funny.
