Sunshine
(Sonnenschein) is the name of three generations of a Hungarian Jewish family.
Fiennes plays the men of each generation.
In the
first he’s a judge, loyal to the emperor and empire. It’s boring.
In the
second, the judge’s son converts to Catholicism to become a member of the
Officer’s Fencing Club. It’s boring. Then the Nazis take over.
After
the war his son joins the Communist party and hunts his father’s murderers and
then leaves the Party and becomes a rebel. It’s boring.
Three stupid love stories too. What a waste of good actors. It’s plodding, stiff and dutiful. And boring.
