A message from Susan Suleiman
Dear friends and colleagues,
I’ll be presenting my new book on the great Hungarian filmmaker István Szabó at Harvard Bookstore next Friday, April 19 at 7 p.m., in conversation with prize-wining novelist Daphne Kalotay. During our conversation we’ll show some film clips from Szabó’s films, including a few that are hard to find on streaming platforms. (Some of you may know some of his films without knowing his name: Mephisto, starring Klaus Maria Brandauer, won the Oscar for best foreign film in 1982, and this story about an ambitious actor who sells his soul to the Nazis is still very relevant today. Sunshine, from 1999, is a grand historical epic about a Jewish family in Hungary, starring Ralph Fiennes and Jennifer Ehle among other greats).
