The Revolt of Job(Movie, 1983)

The Revolt of Job (Hungarian: Jób lázadása) is a 1983 Hungarian film directed by Imre Gyöngyössy and Barna Kabay. It received a nomination for the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film. Set in Hungary in 1943, the film follows an elderly Jewish couple, Jób and Róza, who adopt a troublesome non-Jewish child named Lackó. Their intention is to pass on their wealth and knowledge to him before Nazi oppression reaches Hungary. Lackó becomes a part of the family until the Nazis separate him from his adoptive parents. Gyöngyössy, speaking at the film's premiere in New York City, expressed his desire for the movie to serve "as a message not only across generations but also across nations." ()
