István Szabó : 1980
Confidence
In World War II Hungary, hard-bitten resistance fighter János Biró and naive young mother Katalin are thrown together in an attempt to escape the Nazis. Compelled to pose as husband and wife under false names to hide their connections to the anti-Nazi resistance, they are forced into a strange intimacy. Terrified of discovery, the couple are wary of all those around them, even of each other, and must regard everyone as a potential informant. As their individual loyalties are challenged, their relationship begins to change, calling into question the emotional certainties of their normal lives, and forcing them to reassess who they really trust. This profoundly moving, award-winning film delicately, yet powerfully, explores the nature of our trust and faith in others under exceptional circumstances.
