The bipolar nature of Hungary’s politics and the country’s education system are the targets of Gábor Reisz’s “Explanation for Everything,” which world premieres in the Venice Film Festi…
The film is Reisz’s third feature after the acclaimed “Some Inexplicable Reason” and “Bad Poems” . Set in summer in Budapest, “” follows high school student Abel, who is struggling to focus on his final exams while coming to the realization that he is hopelessly in love with his best friend Janka. The studious Janka has her own unrequited love with married history teacher Jakab — who had a previous confrontation with Abel’s conservative father.
Hungary has been ruled by a right-wing government since 2010. “I never wanted to make a political movie — just tell a story that that in every level, there are political topics, because what I felt was that the in last few years you could not talk about anything in Hungary that is not connected to politics,” Reisz told. “Every question is — are you right or left? And for example, about me, I don’t know which side I’m on.
The filmmaker also takes exception to some of the practices in the educational system. “I have a lot of problem with the education system,” Reisz said. “I think the graduation exam in Hungary it’s absurd. In a day you have to know everything about history, everything about literature. … It’s not correct. I’m not sure its really equal.”
Reisz has a clear message that he wants to convey via the film. “The message is to start to communicate. In Hungary — this is the worst part — a few years ago, we started to learn to not communicate between the two sides and if you don’t communicate, you don’t want to understand the people from the other side. And it’s terrible. We start to behave like robots,” Reisz said.I Wonder Pictures for Italy and Filmtett for Romania.
