Music Box not only points to the regrettable fact that some of the European refugees admitted after the Second World War were among the ‘willing executioners’ of national socialism’s plan to remake the culture of the continent. It also provides the only cinematic treatment of the murder by Hungarian fascists who belong to the notorious Arrow Cross movement, of Budapest’s Jews – an episode of the Holocaust that had, before the release of this film, largely slipped from view. This chapter offers an in-depth discussion of the various historical events that are treated in the film and also formed the context of its reception. This is the ‘work’ of memorialization and illumination that Costa-Gavras intended his films to inspire.

I don't normally bother to write about a film unless it greatly impresses me: what motivates me to put pen to paper (or index-finger to keyboard) is a desire to share an enthusiasm, to tell the world how wonderful something is. I know that negative reviews have their value and usefulness too, but I don't much enjoy writing them. This offering, Music Box, is the exception in that I can see its defects perfectly clearly, and they are many, but it still seems to me worthy of your time and attention simply because it's such a good idea for a film. So let's take a look both at the film Costa-Gavros did make and the one he didn't. The story is presented almost entirely as a courtroom drama, with a short location sequence in Soviet-dominated Budapest. The Jessica Lange character, Ann Talbot, is a successful young criminal lawyer in Chicago, estranged from her husband (Ned Schmidtke) and living with her 11-year-old son Mikey (Lukas Haas). She is the daughter of hyphenated-American Mike Laszlow (Armin Mueller-Stahl), who came over from Hungary at the close of the Second World War. As a result of a US Immigration Department investigation, evidence begins to accumulate that her beloved old man is not the innocent Hungarian farmer he claimed to be when he came to America, but a monstrous war-criminal named Mishke, the notorious leader of Arrowcross, a home-grown Hungarian Nazi terror-squad, which used drowning as an economic alternative to shooting their Jewish victims, tying fami...
