Plot summary

In EVOLUTION, acclaimed filmmaking team Kornél Mundruczó and Kata Wéber (PIECES OF A WOMAN) return with a powerful drama tracing three generations of a family, from a surreal memory of World War II to modern day Berlin, unable to process their past in a society still coping with the wounds of its history. Like the water that connects the episodes in this triptych, memory and identity are fluid, and how we relate to it can drown or buoy. The pain and stigma that trickles from Eva, to Lena and then Jonas is inexpressible, yet rendered with striking imagery by Mundruczó and a wrenchingly poignant yet acerbically ironic and personal script by Weber. While generational traumas find new expression in the present, the family in EVOLUTION looks towards a more hopeful future

agreable dyptich

Refreshing diptych that explores the harsh coexistence, sometimes antagonistic, between the blurred past and the present with its imponderable consequences; Léna and her mother, Jonas and Léna; The most serious thing is that there are millions like Lena and Jonas, today suffering the fate of the plot due to similar circumstances, while the rest of the world senses that it is just another version of the anachronism of the Holocaust. I suppose that after the Holocaust the memory is often suppressed, the past healed and hope is kept in the present; The paradox is how would those who, like Lena, cannot continue in the contemporary world overcome hopelessness if they opt for oblivion? She can't get her little one out of the country or enroll him in kindergarten until she gets his elderly mother's birth certificate, which proves her Jewish ancestry and which she refuses to provide. But in part two, "Jonas," can the son be blamed for not thinking like mom, and barely knowing what that flódni cake grandma used to make is? Can one blame Léna's mother, a mother who was born in Kasernenstrasse, Auschwitz, who saw her own mother tied by the breasts so as not to breastfeed her,...can she be blamed for proudly showing off the Guard as a survivor? Hlinka, not to grant your daughter so as not to grant the contemporary German state, not even a paper proving her Jewish caste? "Give me this document or my life was about the Holocaust for nothing."

Just another movie....

This movie follows the well known recipe:

  • history heavy
  • well designed human stories
  • sad like a fly in your favorite soup
  • unbelievably boring


but, as the recipe shown, this movie is not made for the movie fans, but for the Oscar.

So well, if you want to watch something, what is made for you, look for another story. Sorry.

Kornél Mundruczó, one of the most competent directors of Hungarian cinema, tells the touching history of a family from World War II to the present through three generations of members of the family in his latest film, which will be screened for the first time in the Premieres section of 2021 Cannes.

But the film reaches the point it wants to tell, tiring the audience.
