Semmelweis (2023)

WHAT: a historical drama by Lajos Koltai (the first directorial work in the career of an outstanding cinematographer) featuring Miklós H. Vecsei (debut in big cinema), László Galffi ("Colonel Redl") and Ferenc Elek ("Hands Off My Daddy!")

WHAT IT'S ABOUT: the life journey of Ignaz Semmelweis - a doctor who struggled to teach his conservative (and ungrateful) colleagues about hygiene and asepsis

WHY: to see an illustration of the saying about good intentions and the road to hell; to remember what sometimes initiative can do to the initiator; to understand what "collusion" means

WHO SHOULD NOT: conservatives; those enamored with charming antiquity; future moms
