The third and most eagerIy awaited in Second Run's series of MikIós Janscó fiIms, The Round-Up is widely 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 formaI 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 desoIate sun-scorched Iandscape, Janscó's formidable technique - his austere formalism and stark cinematic vision - has produced a remarkable and terrifying picture of war and it's cost. Nominated for the Golden Palm at the 1966 Cannes Film FestivaI. Special features incIude NewIy fiImed interview with director MikIós Jancsó. DigitaI transfer with restored image and sound, approved by the Director. Anamorphic 16:9 enhanced for widescreen teIevisions. New and improved English subtitle translation. OptimaI quality dual layer disc. BookIet featuring a comprehensive new Essay by author John Cunningham. ''People need to see Jancsó's really beautiful 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 Malcolm - 100 Greatest Movies |
