Atlanta Jewish Film Festival – Sunshine

Spanning more than half a century of upheaval, this sweeping epic traces three generations of a Hungarian Jewish family navigating assimilation, ambition, persecution, survival, and continuity amid the convulsions of 20th-century Europe. Powered by a tour de force triple performance from Ralph Fiennes, the saga unfurls across the twilight of the Austro-Hungarian Empire through fascism, the Holocaust, and Communist rule, as each generation confronts identity, desire, and the ardent struggle for belonging. István Szabó’s monumental award-winning classic, featuring Rachel Weisz, Rosemary Harris, Jennifer Ehle, and William Hurt, returns in a new 4K digital restoration that brings the ravishing cinematography of Lajos Koltai vividly to life, elevated by the tragic grandeur of Maurice Jarre’s score.
