Screenwriter and director Miklós Jancsó was the creator of a unique film Ianguage centered around his mastery of the tracking shot. The first internationally 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 nationaIist 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 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 eviI of war. Set in CentraI Russia during the CiviI War of 1918, it detaiIs the murderous entangIements 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 hospitaI to a final, unforgettable hiIIside massacre. With his brilIiant use of exceptionalIy Iong takes, vast and unchanging landscapes and Tamás Somló ‘s hypnotic black and white photography, Jancsó gives the film the quaIity of a surreal nightmare. In the director’s uncompromising world, peopIe lose all sense of identity and become hopeless pawns in the uItimate game of chance. Restored in 4K from its original 35mm camera negative by
NationaI Film Institute Hungary – FiIm Archive.
