Featuring an Oscar-winning portrayal by Anthony Hopkins, The Father is given a screening in English with Hungarian subtitles on Saturday, 2 October. Adapted for the screen by its French director, Florian Zeller, who also wrote the award-winning play, the film focuses on a man in his eighties, sinking deeper and deeper into a state of dementia. Olivia Colman was also nominated for an Academy Award for her performance as his daughter Anne, torn between moving to Paris with her boyfriend or whether to leave her father with a carer or in a home. The boundaries between past and present are blurred, time is distorted, familiar faces disappear as Hopkins delivers one of the finest performances of his career.
