Nantucket Film Festival 2001 (106 Mins)
Based on a true story of a young mother (Nastassja Kinski) and her husband (Tony Goldwyn) who flee Budapest in 1956 on the cusp of the Soviet invasion, leaving behind their infant daughter. Reestablished in Vienna and then onto America, another six years pass before they are reunited with her in Los Angeles. Like no other movie out there, American Rhadsopy weaves freedom vs. communism, luxury vs. simplicity, history and ethics vs. modern conveniences, as told through the eyes of a young teenage girl going from one extreme to another and hungering to understand the roots of her ancestry. This story will remind us of our own heritage reflecting on the fact that we are who we are based on our past.
