In the early 1990s, Jancsó made two films that thematically can be grouped with the works from the 1980s, "God Walks Backwards" ("Isten hátrafelé megy", 1990) and "Blue Danube Waltz" ("Kék Duna keringő", 1991). Although they continue the work of the previous decade, they are also reactions to the Hungary's new post-Communist reality and explore the inherent power struggles. After a long break from making full-length features, Jancsó returned with "The Lord's Lantern in Budapest" ("Nekem lámpást adott kezembe az Úr Pesten", 1999), which proved to be a surprising come-back for the director. The film largely (but not entirely) dispenses with long takes and choreographed camera movements, and for this Jancsó started working with a new director-of-photography Ferenc Grunwalsky (who is also a director in his own right). The loose plot follows two gravediggers Pepe and Kapa as they try to make sense of the shifting realities of post-Communist Budapest. Despite mocking young Hungarians for their shallowness, the film proved a minor hit with them, helped by the performances by some of Hungary's top music acts in the film.
