"Schindler's List" star set
to play three generations
in a new film.

B

ritish actor Ralph Fiennes,
who convincingly played
the sadistic SS camp com-
mandant Amon Goeth in
Schindler's List has been cast to play
the parts of three Jews in an ambi-
tious project announced earlier this
month.
The film, as yet untitled, will be
the multigenerational saga of a Jewish
family that rises from humble begin-
nings to positions of wealth and
power within the crumbling Austro-
Hungarian Empire.
In a demanding challenge, even
for an actor nominated twice for
Academy Awards in a relatively short
screen career (Schindler's List and the
title role in The English Patient),
Fiennes will portray three genera-
tions of men in the Sonnenschein
,
family.
The patriarch, Ignatz, becomes a
prominent judge, torn when his gov-
ernment embarks on anti-Jewish per-
secutions. His son, Adam, converts to
Christianity to advance his career as
champion fencer and Olympic hero,
but is caught up in the Holocaust.
Finally, Ivan, Adam's son, after sur-
viving war, revolution, loss and
betrayal, realizes that the ultimate
allegiance must be to himself and his
heritage.
Hungarian director Istvan Szabo,
who says he has been preparing for
this project for the last five years,
won an Oscar for Mephisto as Best
Foreign Film, and critical acclaim for
Colonel Redl, Confidence and
Hanussen.
He will direct the upcoming film,
based on an original screenplay by
himself and American playwright
Israel Horovitz.
Alliance Communication Corp.
announced that it will produce the
Szabo-Fiennes film, with principal
photography set to start next summer
in Budapest, Vienna, Berlin and
Paris.
