LAJOS Koltai's film debut, Fateless (2005), based on the autobiographical prose of the Hungarian Nobel Prize laureate, Imre Kertesz, emerged as an inspirational and revealing film, revisiting a tragic past. Kertesz's 1973 novel, Sortalansag, follows the suffering and degradation of a Budapest teenager caught in a Nazi raid, who ends up in Auschwitz and survives to return to Budapest at the end of the war. A gradual succumbing to the misery inflicted by the Nazis forms the core of Kertesz's prose. It also emerges as a crucial attribute of Koltai's film.
