Régi idök focija (Old times' football) is probably the most quoted movie in Hungary besides A Tanú (The Witness). 'Kell egy csapat!' (We need a team) became a common proverb in Hungary. The story takes place in the 1920's in Budapest, and tells a story about Ede Minarik, the laundry man, who is keen to sacrifice his life, wealth, even his family life to make up his own football team, which can make it to the first division. But the film is about more than just football: it shows us the post-war Budapest, the dirt, the slums, the poverty, and a man, who has a dream, a vision to achieve his own set goals with his team. At that time there was a desperate need for lots of people like Minarik. What is unique about the movie is how it was pictured: the cameraman created an atmosphere which takes us back to the 1920's. Definitely worth watching it!
By the middle of the 70s, partly due to television, Hungarian films had lost much of their audience. The allure of disguised social criticism - one of the secret reasons why Hungarian films were so successful at foreign festivals - started to wear off. After 1968 social criticism became pointless. The first director to open up towards the audience (along with Zoltán Fábri) was Pál Sándor. Mourning the loss of left-wing ideals of freedom he recreated the illusion of a past community.
The audience responded to his grotesque, nostalgic tone and the stories where the emphasis was always placed on the microclimate of human relationships. His "retro-films" were rich in self-irony. He never analysed and never criticised, he just told a story, created a poignant atmosphere and passionate characters. (Szeressétek Odor Emíliát - Love Emilia! 1968, Régi idők focija - Football of The Good Old Days 1973, Herkulesfürdői emlék - A Strange Role 1976, Szabadíts meg a gonosztól - Deliver Us from Evil 1978).
His outstanding film, - Football of the Good Old Days had a repeated line, which became a popular saying: "One needs a team". The hero, Minarik, the legendary laundry-owner tried to fill his football team with enthusiasm. He represented the man of the 70s, trying to find a way out, wallowing in nostalgia.”
Elemér Ragályi was the cinematographer on Expedition of Retribution and the director of photography of every Pál Sándor film. Ragályi had become a master of the hand-held camera and sensitive, psychologically expressive lighting while working on Béla Balázs Studio documentaries.
