Our suggestions
In 1913, as World War I approaches, a 20-year-old orphan returns to her hometown of Budapest to uncover her mysterious past.
"The Hungarian director, László Nemes, continues to make an impact since his cinematic breakthrough with 'Son of Saul', which earned him an Oscar for Best Foreign Film. And 'Napszállta' does not disappoint. An undisputed winner of the FIPRESCI Prize at the Venice Film Festival, the film is an immersive experience on a scenic and visual level. There is a constant suspense and continuously shaken by narrative ellipses, as well as a disturbing soundtrack."
