FILM CLUB SCREENING - Festival of Feature Films on International Artistes. The Emigre - Everything Is Different (Hungary/2006/100mins) Dirs. István Dárday & Györgyi Szalai. A film about writer Sándor Márai's last years of self chosen exile. The “story” starts in Naples with the memories of Márai’s and Lola’s youth and ends at the secluded world of loneliness in San Diego. Escaping from dictatorships and writing only in his mother tongue, the writer not only dissociates himself from post-1947 Hungary physically, but he even refuses to have his works published there as long as the boots of a single Russian soldier trample on his homeland’s soil. Often invited to return to be rehabilitated, but the uncompromising writer keeps his vow….
