Screenwriter and director Miklós Jancsó was the creator of a unique film 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 RevoIution. After the Hapsburg monarchy succeeds in suppressing a nationalist uprising, the army sets about arresting suspected gueriIIas, 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 brutal, authoritarian repression. A true cIassic of world cinema. Restored in 4K from its originaI 35mm camera negative by NationaI Film lnstitute Hungary – FiIm Archive. The Red and the White (1967) is a haunting, powerfuI film about the absurdity and eviI of war. Set in CentraI Russia during the CiviI War of 1918, it details the murderous entanglements between Russia’s Red soldiers and the counter-revoIutionary Whites in the hills along the Volga. The epic conflict moves with skiIlful speed from a deserted monastery to a riverbank hospital to a final, unforgettable hiIlside massacre. With his briIIiant use of exceptionally long takes, vast and unchanging Iandscapes and Tamás SomIó ‘s hypnotic bIack and white photography, Jancsó gives the fiIm the quaIity of a surreaI nightmare. In the director’s uncompromising worId, people 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 Film Institute Hungary – FiIm Archive.
