1945 at Glasgow Film Theatre

12 – 18th October, 2018

When two black clad men arrive at a country railway station, a classic western set up appears to be unfolding. But it’s 1945 in Soviet-occupied Hungary in the immediate aftermath of World War II, and by their appearance the men are Orthodox Jews. As the two men make their way to town and word of their arrival spreads, there’s a growing panic amongst some of the more prominent townsfolk – especially town clerk, István, whose son’s wedding is later that day… With its monochrome splendour and striking soundtrack, morally compromised townspeople and its tick-tock narrative, 1945 recalls nothing more than Fred Zinnemann’s taut and masterful High Noon.

GFT, 12 Rose Street, G3 6RB
