What it’s about. The Hungarian Maria's Day is set in that most fateful of years, 1848. The incredible changes and reverses in European politics and culture exert a potent influence on one aristocratic Hungarian family. Losing virtually everything in the way of creature comforts, the family tries to keep up appearances. Eventually every member of the clan falls victim to illness, syphilis and their own headstrong foolishness. The parallels drawn by director Judith Elek between the dissipation of 19th century Hungarian aristocracy and the corruption of Communist ideology in modern times are inescapable.
Who’s in it. Maria's Day stars Edit Handel as Szendrey Júlia, Éva Igó as Szendrey Marika, Sándor Szabó as Szendrey Ignác and Imre Csiszár as Gyulai Pál, among others.
