Sunshine (1999)
(A napfény íze)
Country: HUN/GER/CAN/OST/GB
Technical: col 180m
Director: István Szabó
Cast: Ralph Fiennes (in three roles), Rosemary Harris, Rachel Weisz, Jennifer Ehle, Deborah Kara Unger, William Hurt, Rüdiger Vogler
Synopsis:
Transgressive love and political naïvety stalk a Hungarian Jewish family through the upheavals of twentieth century history.
Review:
Living life to the full without making a song and dance out of it seems to be the secret of this film's principal female character. It is a saga which instructs more than it impresses, despite one or two sequences such as the death by shower of its middle character, Adam Sors, which carry the quiet intensity of this director's best work. One can't help feeling that it would have been a much better film with a Hungarian cast.
