The narrative purports to deal with the barbaric exploits of Attila The Hun (an appropriately brooding if unsympathetic figure throughout)…and, yet, none of the characters ever leave the remote seaside stretch of land on which the film is set or do much of anything – with the ensuing moralizing interrupted only by the occasional (and equally obscure) music-infused rites! …..

The post Miklós Jancsó – La Tecnica e il rito (1972) first appeared on Cinema of the World.

During the Russian Civil War, the Red Army – aided by Hungarian Communists – and the White Army fight for control of the area surrounding the Volga.

MUBI wrote:
Set in 1919, during the aftermath of the Russian Revolution, Miklós Jancsó’s The Red and the White is a war film unlike any other. In the brutal Civil War which took place, Hungarian volunteers supported the ‘Red’ revolutionaries in a war of attrition against the ‘White’ counter-revolutionaries.

Quote:
Alegory of the suppression of the 1919 revolution and the advent of fascism in Hungary; in the countryside, a unit of the revolutionary army spares the life of father Vargha, a fanatical priest. He comes back and leads massacres. A new force, represented by Feher, apparently avanges the people, but only to impose a different, more refined and effective kind of repression.

The post Miklós Jancsó – Égi bárány AKA Agnus Dei (1971) first appeared on Cinema of the World.

Quote:
Miklós Jancsó’s Silence and Cry is set during a turbulent era of disquiet, fear, persecution and terror, which permeates every corner of post-WWI Hungarian society. In 1919, after just a few months of communist rule the Hungarian Republic of Councils falls victim to a nationalist counter-revolution. Admiral Horthy, leader of the nationalist far right movement, becomes the self-proclaimed regent of Hungary, and assumes power as the legal Head of State. Soldiers of the short-lived Hungarian Red Army are now on the run from relentless secret policemen and patrol units of the nationalist Royal Gendarme. If caught, ex-Red Army soldiers are executed without mercy or proper trial. István Cserzi, a former soldier of the Red Army has fled to the Great Hungarian Plains and has taken refuge on a farm, which is run by two sympathetic women. Due to the generosity of these women and a former childhood pal, who is now a commandant of the local Royal Gendarme outfit, István is safely hidden from the ever-prying eyes of the secret policemen, who relentlessly roam the countryside searching for ex-Red Army men and their sympathisers. However, upon discovering that the women are secretly poisoning the mother-in-law and the husband, the legal owners of the farm, István must make the most difficult decision of his life. As a personal war is waging within his own consciousness over morality and self-preservation, István must decide whether to remain silent about the women’s devious secret and preserve his own life, or to report their heinous crime to the Royal Gendarme, which would also mean certain death for him.

Description: – ”The 40 Labor [the manufacturer firm] as a faithful conservative reaches back – his generation only – to the tradition looking like the lost one. To the twentyfold years’ avantgarde, the ones of sixty filmlanguage-his narration revolution, to the seventy ones’ experimentation. And to the postmodern one which recalling was kept always, for which all this fits shakily under the world’s big umbrella, ( everything else – and the contrary of everything – too).
Buharov brothers strong and effective pictures are dreamed onto the linen, their work lasts caught if we understand nothing from him. We do not recognise their world’s rules, we feel it though these rules his strength.” – Báron György

———————
The message of the film metaphysical and everything hypotenuse. A world view, that the world mystic, depressing, superstitious, incalculable, uncomfortable, strange and violent. The thought is not new. The quality of communication that is new is.
Maybe, that is because of me only, but since Un chien andalou (An Andalusian Dog) I did not see a similar film, that the surrealist would have carried it on so tradition. The person who does not look at it misses the single revolutionary work of the contemporary story, an audiovizális from a funfair… ” – maxigas

We are the subjects of a strange experiment, the victims of a suspicious program and a strange algorithm and waiter. Somewhere in East-Europe, takes place in the interval between the seventy years and the immediate future sometime. Surprising things happen in a village (an envoy appears dog, a girl to vízibornyú gives a life), black offices wearing sunglasses roam the country, a prophetic one with a talent a blessed scholar increases the chaos, and a local man tries to gain access with secret investigation behind the riddles…

The film plays with popular forms: the sci-fi, with the accessories of the negative utopia, the folk-tale and the ancient myths. Opens certain domains of interpretation, but entrusts the key to the spectator. Into this film the plot does not mean the entry dot, but the rare suggestive atmosphere. It was turned with an Super-8 technique, and it was transformed into 35 mm films later only.
