I stumbled upon this move by accident. Even though it's a Hungarian movie, I never heard of it before, there was no hype or even a poster about it anywhere. Now I'm glad I watched it. Pizzás (or Pizzaman) is not for the average movie audience, it's more like an art-film. Very surreal and sometimes confusing. The whole plot is revolving around Pizzás, the main character, if can be called a plot though, because as I see it, there is none. It is just a queue of scenes following each other seemingly in a random pattern, and it seem as if most of the scenes could be rearranged and the movie would still be the same. The best part of Pizzás is the humor. Not the average joke kinda humor, but it's something that only some people understand and can laugh at. I had some friends over to watch Pizzás, and some of them laughed their head off, some of them just stared at the screen confused. Most of the humorous parts cannot even be translated to other languages because of the cultural and lingual differences. The directing is very...um...I dunno. I don't know the point of the film, but I guess it was to present a half-witted action comedy-drama that mimes some American stereotypes, makes fun of the whole concept.
I don't want to write any spoilers, so I cannot bring up any examples. This makes it very hard to review this movie at all. I can only say, that if you have what it takes to watch this film, you have to watch it.
