Synopsis:

Bence Fliegauf, one of the leading representatives of Hungarian cinema, is known for his films that successfully combine artistic creativity and an innovative cinematic language with a political cinema that deals with human rights and justice. Competing at the Karlovy Vary Film Festival, Jimmy Jaguar is a new, striking and multi-layered example of the director's sophisticated cinematic approach. The eponymous Jimmy Jaguar is a genie from an old Hungarian children's song that possesses people and leads them to commit crimes... Fliegauf skillfully plays with elements of the horror genre in this mockumentary that investigates the reality of the Jagu, as it is called. The fact that the attacker turns out to be a Serbian war criminal and that Jagu takes revenge on those who consider themselves above the law builds the legal and political dimensions of the movie.

Bence Fliegauf, a leading figure in Hungarian cinema, is known for his films that successfully combine artistic creativity and an innovative cinematic style with a political cinema that explores the concepts of human rights and justice. Jimmy Jaguar, which competed at the Karlovy Vary Film Festival, is a striking, multi-layered, and fresh example of the director's sophisticated cinematic approach. The film's title character, Jimmy Jaguar, is a demon from an old Hungarian children's song who possesses people and drives them to commit crimes. This mockumentary explores the reality of Jagu and a crime committed under his influence, while Fliegauf masterfully plays with elements of the horror genre. The victim turns out to be a Serbian war criminal, and Jagu's revenge on those who consider themselves above the law underpins the film's legal and political dimensions.
