Gogola (film)

Gogola is a 2008 Hungarian feature film directed by Gábor Fabricius-Gábor. The film is a dark comedy-drama revolving around the life of Gogola, a homeless man with Tourette's syndrome living in Budapest.

The narrative follows Gogola as he navigates the harsh realities of street life, encounters various eccentric characters, and grapples with his involuntary tics and vocalizations. While the film employs humor, it also explores themes of social marginalization, mental illness, and the search for human connection in an indifferent urban environment.

The film received critical acclaim for its raw and unflinching portrayal of Gogola's struggles, and for the lead actor's performance in capturing the complexities of a character with Tourette's syndrome. It has been screened at numerous international film festivals and received several awards.
