Hungary's Unhealed Wounds: A László Nemes Film Reveals a Nation's Enduring Resentment László Nemes' latest film, Orphan, has received critical acclaim for its poignant portrayal of a young boy's struggle to connect with his father in post uprising Hungary.
The movie is the latest installment in Nemes' oeuvre, which consistently explores 20th century Central European history through personal and emotional lenses.
The 1956 setting serves as a reminder that even decades later, the wounds of that event still linger.
