SILVER

[MAGYARÁZAT MINDENRE]
High school senior Abel (Gáspár Adonyi-Walsh) only has an oral exam standing between him and graduation, but all he can think about is his crush on his best friend Janka (Lilla Kizlinger). Too bad she only has eyes for their married history teacher, Jakab (András Rusznák). When Abel flunks his history test, he blames Jakab and tells his parents he was a victim of discrimination due to the Nationalist pin he was wearing. A firestorm is ignited as the incident makes local news and then spirals into a national scandal. Told from multiple perspectives, filmmaker Gábor Reisz's (FOR SOME INEXPLICABLE REASON) bold, incisive political dramedy won Best Film in the Horizons section of this year's Venice Film Festival. DIR/SCR Gábor Reisz; SCR Éva Schulze; PROD Júlia Berkes. Hungary/Slovakia, 2023, color, 151 min. In Hungarian with English subtitles. NOT RATED
