Sunshine / A Napfeny ize DVDSynopsis Sunshine is a period drama released in 1999, crafted under the direction of István Szabó with a script penned by Szabó and Israel Horovitz. The narrative weaves through the vicissitudes of a Hungarian Jewish family, initially carrying the name Sonnenschein, meaning 'sunshine' in German, which later alters to Sors, translating to 'fate' in Hungarian. The plot traces the lineage across five generations, with a concentrated focus on three pivotal eras from the turn of the 19th century to the heart of the 20th century. The family's saga unfolds against the backdrop of Hungary's tumultuous evolution, spanning the rise of the Austro-Hungarian Empire and extending beyond the 1956 Hungarian Revolution. Amidst the national upheaval, the characters grapple with a loss of identity and familial strife. Ralph Fiennes anchors the film as the lead male figure across the three generations, with a cast that includes the likes of Rachel Weisz and John Neville. Jennifer Ehle and Rosemary Harris, a real-life mother-daughter duo, bring depth to their portrayal of the same character over sixty years.Product Details DVDLength 173 min.Production Year 1999Audio Hungarian, EnglishSubtitles NoneFormat DVD (PAL)Region 2 Director István SzabóCast Ralph Fiennes, Rosemary Harris, Rachel Weisz, Jennifer Ehle, Deborah Kara UngerNote for US customers: It might not play on some US DVD players, Multi-Region and Multisystem PAL/NTSC DVD player is required, Please check your DVD player
