This film finally swept away the dust that had settled on the Petőfi picture over the decades, he said of the work.
Sándor Petőfi's living descendant Zalán Bognár also likes Now or never! film - wrote the film's producer, Rákay Philip, in his Facebook post.
Bognár Zalán - who is an associate professor and historian at the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences of the Károl Gáspár Reformed University - was Petőfi's cousin.
The Now or Never! after viewing it, he gave his opinion about the work:
"This film finally swept away all the dust that had settled on the Petőfi image over the decades. Because let's face it, the greatest Hungarian poet, the ardent patriot, has been revered as a lifeless, distant statue for generations. (…) What is important is not how the rifles were loaded in reality at that time, but the fact that my family and I were able to experience touching and uplifting moments while watching the film."
In the same post, Philip Rákay said: it's a good feeling that Petőfi's living descendants think this way about the film.
"Zalán Bognár's opinion is very important to us, creators, in many ways! Thank You!" added the creator.
