Why watch?
“László Nemes came to prominence with his traumatic but incredibly wonderful and award-winning Son of Saul (2015) and his precise sense of history combined with an attention to period detail are once again present in Orphan, set in the aftermath of the 1956 Hungarian Uprising. This depth of storytelling creates a host of themes and ways of parsing what is and continues to be our legacy of the most catastrophic period of the 20th Century: World War II, and more specifically in this case, the wholesale and systematic murder of millions of Jews and others in the holocaust.”

Hyde Park Pick: Orphan
