Sunset 2018

This indie family drama about the millinery milieu (women's hat makers) in Budapest during the early 1900s is an extended metaphor for Eastern Europe at the onset of World War I. The good news is, you just became an intellectual by simply reading that sentence. The bad news is, the film made me feel like I was on a train trip in a strange country and got off one stop too soon.

I did like the feeling of the film, though I must admit that the feeling wore off before the end of the 2 1/2 hour runtime. Director László Nemes was able to make me feel like I was there, but I didn't really want to be there, especially for that long.
