'68

About This Movie

'68 is a fascinating exploration of cultural displacement, focusing on a Hungarian immigrant in California. The film captures this man's struggles, as he grapples with the shifting identities of his sons—who are eager to embrace American life, often in stark contrast to their father's traditional values. The pacing is deliberate, allowing the tension between old and new to simmer, which gives the film a subtle weight. There’s a rawness in the performances that feels genuine, almost documentary-like at times. The atmosphere is tinged with nostalgia, but there's also an underlying strain of sadness as the family navigates these generational divides. It’s a unique snapshot of immigrant life, filled with quiet moments that linger long after the credits roll.
