Capital Celluloid 2019 - Day 126: Mon May 6

Sunset (Nemes, 2018): Curzon Soho, 7.30pm


A rare foray into contemporary releases for Capital Celluloid with this special 35mm screening of László Nemes’ latest film plus Q&A with the director (the screening and Nemes Q&A will also be repeated on May 31st - details here).

Curzon Soho introduction:
From László Nemes, the Oscar-winning director of Son of Saul comes this sublimely evocative recreation of 1913 Budapest, a city at the crux of world history. Irisz Leiter (Juli Jakab) arrives in the capital eager to become a milliner at her late parents’ legendary hat shop. But she is drawn into the mystery of what happened to her long-missing brother. Her search will lead her into a dazzling panorama of the dying gasps of the Austro-Hungarian empire. Perfectly pitched between dream and nightmare, with real lives caught in the web of history, Sunset is a worthy successor to Son of Saul.
Here (and above) is the trailer.
