"Legendary #Hungarian #filmmaker #LászlóNemes has spoken plainly about “an orgy of #antisemitism overtaking the West.”

[...t]he acclaimed #director discusses bringing his latest World War II venture — a biopic on the French resistance hero Jean Moulin — to the #Cannes #Film Festival[...]

#Nemes, who won an #Oscar in 2016 for Son of Saul, begins by considering reaction to the award-winning film, as well as 2025’s Orphan. The former follows a day-and-a-half in the life of an Auschwitz concentration camp prisoner, while the latter is about a young #Jewish boy’s search for his missing father, as he instead unveils the truth of his mother’s survival of the #Holocaust.

Nemes tells the #UK publication about Son of Saul‘s award success: “I don’t even think it would make the [Oscar] shortlist today. Because of the politicisation of #cinema, because anything that’s Jewish is now considered… Nobody would touch it with a 10ft pole.”
