Zurück zu meiner Katja Studt-Seite...
Ralph Fiennes, the leading character in the film and star of the "English Patient", was also present. The official premiere is to be held at the 1999 Cannes Film Festival.
Szabo, who won an Oscar for "Mephisto" in 1981, is shooting in Hungary again after an interval of several years, now in the production of the Canadian Alliance Communications Corporation (ACC). Both producers of the film, ACC Director-General Robert Lantos and Alliance Motion Pictures Director-General Andras Hamori, were born in Hungary.
Szabo said his script tells the story of an East-Central European family whose ill-fated members are driven by a struggle for a sense of security and the compulsion of constant adaptation, while they are losing their real selves.
Ralph Fiennes plays three characters in the film to be shot mostly in Hungary. The international cast includes Jennifer Ehle, Rachel Weisz, Molly Parker, William Hurt, Rosemary Harris, Miriam Margolyes, John Neville, Katja Studt, Buddy Elias and James Frain. Among domestic celebrities are Mari Torocsik, Gabor Mate and Eva Igo.+++
