Synopsis
An American Rhapsody (2001) is a family drama you can watch online on iFILM, directed by Eva Gardos and drawn from her own experience as a Hungarian-American. It opens in the 1950s: a young couple, Margit and Peter, crosses into Austria in the middle of the night, leaving their infant daughter Suzanne behind with the promise of sending for her soon.
Six years pass. Suzanne (Scarlett Johansson) arrives in California as a teenager. She speaks no English, does not recognize her parents, and does not trust her mother Margit (Nastassja Kinski), who wants to rebuild what the years took apart. Tony Goldwyn plays the father trying to keep the household from fracturing completely.
Gardos does not let the film settle into reconciliation on schedule. Suzanne eventually goes to Budapest alone, looking for the self that stayed behind — and what she finds there is the film's actual subject. Stream An American Rhapsody (2001) on iFILM.
