Event
Gloomy Sunday
The San Jose Jewish Film Festival offered this film, one of the most popular ever shown at the Festival, in 2003. We are offering it as a "Best of the Best", in case you missed it or have been waiting to see it again! It plays in theater # 10 on November 5, at 5:30 p.m.
This highly-charged dramatic romance told in flash backs beautifully conjures both an intensely personal and political tale. Budapest, 1930s: Lazlo, a Jewish restaurant owner, hires pianist Andras to play in his restaurant. Both men fall in love with the beautiful waitress Ilona who inspires Andras to create his successful but dangerous composition, Gloomy Sunday, an actual hit-song of the early 1930's. The fragile balance of their erotic menage-a-trois spirals out of control when a German freshman Hans (Ben Becker, The Harmonists) falls in love with Ilona as well. Hans later returns as an SS officer.
