Gloomy Sunday (2003)

Foreign Movie - German/Hungarian - Pre-WWII Drama focuses on 3 main characters in a fine restaurant in Budapest. A pianist/composer, a restaurateur, and their shared lover who greets the restaurant guests. When the Nazis begin to take over Hungary, hell descends on our trio as they struggle to maintain their friendships and respective careers. Based on a novel, some truth and some fabrication. Gloomy Sunday was the name of an actual song that became famous around the world in the 30's. Great acting all around, lovely photography and sets. Engaging movie! 114 min.
