Why watch this film?

Interesting movie from István Szabó (‘Sunshine: The Awakening of a Century’), the feature film ‘Zárójelentés’ brings an important discussion: access to healthcare. In the plot, a retired cardiologist feels lost without his work. When he returns to his hometown, he decides to work as a general practitioner to help the people. But unexpectedly he is confronted with the harsh reality of a village dominated by unconcerned politicians and lack of basic care. From then on, Szabó weaves a powerful story about health, class struggle and, as the title in Portuguese says, music. It could be more powerful and dense, betting too much on a light and unpretentious plot. But still, ‘Zárójelentés’ is an important movie.
