Leans Progressive
Primary
The film's central thesis explicitly promotes progressive ideology by critiquing systemic class exploitation and the dehumanization of the working class by the aristocracy, portraying the tragic consequences of unchecked power and social inequality.
The movie features traditional casting that reflects its historical setting. However, its narrative strongly critiques the exploitative nature of traditional power structures, particularly the wealthy, male-dominated household, by portraying the employers negatively as antagonists.
Secondary
The film portrays the dominant Christian society, particularly its bourgeois adherents, as deeply hypocritical and morally bankrupt. Their outward piety contrasts sharply with their cruel exploitation and dehumanization of the protagonist, Anna. The narrative offers no significant counterbalancing positive portrayal, thus critiquing the moral failings enabled by this social structure.
The film "Édes Anna" is a social drama set in 1920s Hungary, primarily exploring themes of class, exploitation, and social injustice through the story of a young maid. There are no identifiable LGBTQ+ characters or themes present in the narrative.
