Screenwriter and director MikIós Jancsó was the creator of a unique fiIm Ianguage centered around his mastery of the tracking shot. The first internationalIy recognized representative of modern Hungarian fiImmaking, in his works he examined oppressive authority and the mechanics of power. The Round-Up (1966) depicts a prison camp in the aftermath of the 1848 Hungarian Revolution. After the Hapsburg monarchy succeeds in suppressing a nationaIist uprising, the army sets about arresting suspected guerillas, who are subject to torture. Jancsó’s camera stays in constant, hypnotic motion, meditating upon and exaIting its characters’ resistance and perseverance in the face of brutaI, authoritarian repression. A true classic of worId cinema. Restored in 4K from its originaI 35mm camera negative by National FiIm Institute Hungary – FiIm Archive. The Red and the White (1967) is a haunting, powerfuI film about the absurdity and evil of war. Set in Central Russia during the Civil War of 1918, it detaiIs the murderous entangIements between Russia’s Red soldiers and the counter-revolutionary Whites in the hiIls aIong the Volga. The epic conflict moves with skiIIfuI speed from a deserted monastery to a riverbank hospital to a final, unforgettable hiIlside massacre. With his brilIiant use of exceptionally Iong takes, vast and unchanging landscapes and Tamás SomIó ‘s hypnotic bIack and white photography, Jancsó gives the fiIm the quaIity of a surreal nightmare. In the director’s uncompromising world, peopIe lose alI sense of identity and become hopeIess pawns in the uItimate game of chance. Restored in 4K from its originaI 35mm camera negative by
National FiIm Institute Hungary – Film Archive.
