2 Hungarian films entered in Venice film festival
Hungarian productions, Csendes barát (“The Silent Friend”) by Ildikó Enyedi and Árva (“Orphan”) by Oscar winner László Jeles Nemes, will be in the competition for the Golden Lion trophy at the 82nd Venice International Film Festival due to begin on August 27 and run to September 6, Népszava reports.
It has been decades since two Hungarian films were invited to one of the highest prestige festivals in the world, the newspaper adds.
Both movies are international coproductions supported by the Hungarian National Film Institute.
Enyedi’s new film draws a sensitive and philosophical parallel between plants and human beings, Népszava writes.
Nemes’s movie was inspired by the director’s family story. It is set in Budapest, in the spring of 1957 after the failed revolution, when a large part of Hungarian society surrendered to hopelessness. The story revolves around a boy who refuses to believe that a man who has been missing in the wars is his father.
