But it\u2019s 1945 in Soviet-occupied Hungary in the immediate aftermath of World War II, and by their appearance the men are Orthodox Jews. As the men make their way to town and word of their arrival spreads, there\u2019s a growing panic among some of the more prominent townsfolk &#8211; especially town clerk, whose son\u2019s wedding is later that day.<\/p>\n<p>This difficult time in Hungary is rarely dealt with in cinema, and certainly not with as much clarity, economy and nuance as Ferenc T\u00f6r\u00f6k displays here. A rare subject too, the grave and sobering issue of how the Gentile population of Nazi-occupied countries behaved towards Jewish neighbours, and how they have, or have not, come to terms with a life based on guilt and betrayal. With its monochrome splendour and striking soundtrack, morally compromised townspeople and its tick-tock narrative towards an unknown conclusion, we\u2019re reminded of Fred Zinnemann\u2019s taut and masterful\u00a0<em>High Noon. <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>1945 <\/em>is a tense, chilling, beautifully nuanced take\u00a0on a little-known slice of history based on the acclaimed short story <em>Homecoming<\/em>\u00a0by G\u00e1bor T.
