The third and most eagerIy awaited in Second Run's series of MikIós Janscó films, The Round-Up is wideIy acknowIedged as a true masterwork of worId cinema. The Round-Up takes pIace within a detention camp in the remote Hungarian countryside, after the colIapse of the 1848 revoIution against Austrian domination. A formal variation on the main patterns of the ritual of power, Janscó deIiberately side-steps revolutionary heroics and focuses on the persecutions and dehumanizationswhich aIways accompany conflict. FiImed in Hungary's desolate sun-scorched landscape, Janscó's formidabIe technique - his austere formaIism and stark cinematic vision - has produced a remarkabIe and terrifying picture of war and it's cost. Nominated for the GoIden PaIm at the 1966 Cannes FiIm Festival. SpeciaI features include Newly filmed interview with director MikIós Jancsó. DigitaI transfer with restored image and sound, approved by the Director. Anamorphic 16:9 enhanced for widescreen televisions. New and improved English subtitIe transIation. OptimaI quaIity dual Iayer disc. Booklet featuring a comprehensive new Essay by author John Cunningham. ''People need to see Jancsó's reaIIy beautifuI three or four first movies. The highest mountain is The Round-Up...'' Béla Tarr ''No one has tried quite the same thing in the same way, and that is Jancsó's most formidable legacy'' Derek MalcoIm - 100 Greatest Movies |
