2017 Romantic drama
Hungary
2h 1min
Based on the true story of the legendary thoroughbred Kincsem -- to this day, the most decorated racehorse ever -- Herendi's lavish period piece, set in Budapest during the height of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, follows a penniless, orphaned playboy (Ervin Nagy) as he trains "untrainable" Kincsem into a record-breaking mare, and courts the high-society daughter of his father's killer. In its decadent, 19th-century costume design and set décor, Herendi's domestic blockbuster resembles the eye-candy opulence of Baz Luhrmann's most operatic works.
