My Twentieth Century

A 1989 Hungarian comedy-drama science fiction film, "My Twentieth Century" tells the tale of twin girls, Dóra and Lili, born in 1880 Budapest at the same moment Thomas Edison presents his electric lightbulb to the world. The sisters are soon orphaned and separated in childhood, following different paths: one grows up to be a naïvely idealistic, bomb-toting anarchist, the other a pampered, hedonistic courtesan. Their paths cross once again on the Orient Express on New Year's Eve 1899, in a thrilling adventure filled with intrigue, politics, and fantasy.
