Film Description Canada/Hungary, 2000 180 min, 35mm Istvan Szabo, Director Sunday, March 11, 7:30 pm Special Guests:  Dr. Sarah Abrevaya Stein, Jewish Studies Program, University of Washington; and Veronika Szabo, Lecturer in Yiddish in the Division of Literature, Cultures, and Language, Stanford University. Sunshine   Ralph Fiennes gives a tour-de-force performance as the patriarch of three successive generations of the Sonnenschein family.  Academy Award winner Istvan Szabo and acclaimed playwright Israel Horovitz bring us the story of a Jewish family whose many fevered longings include the dream of someday belonging.  Set in director Szabo’s native Hungary, amidst political turmoil and war, the film spans 60 years of the 20th century.  At once witty, seductive, and serious, Sunshine enters a fascinating territory where desire, family, politics, and a sextet of entangled lives converge.
