About Sunshine., by Zsuzsanna

March 17, 2006

This is a film, in which every syllable is true. Who survived the story being Jew in the Twentieth Century Hungary can certificate it. Even the most terrible scene, the execution of Adam Sors the fencing champion is a true story: the original champion's name was Attila Petschauer and he was killed in Ukraine where Jews weren't soldiers but they were used to detect mines with their own body. Who blew up, there was.
