Wiki.
Elk*rtuk (lit: "We f*cked up", working title: "A hazugság ára" (lit: "The Price of Lies"), English: The Cost of Deception, stylized as ELKXRTUK) is a 2021 Hungarian political drama action thriller film, centered around the 2006 Öszöd speech, made by former Hungarian Prime Minister Ferenc Gyurcsány (the title being a literal excerpt of one of the most infamous lines of the speech), the leaking of said speech, and its subsequent consequences. It was directed by Keith English.The film was released in Hungary on 21 October 2021. Due to the release's proximity to the 2022 Hungarian parliamentary election, and its negative portrayal of currently present figures of the opposition parties, especially the aforementioned former Prime Minister and current leader of the Democratic Coalition, as well as his wife, Klára Dobrev, and opposition-supported Budapest mayor Gergely Karácsony, the film became highly controversial and has been accused of being propaganda for the governing party, Fidesz, by Hungarian news outlets.
