The first internationally recognized representative of modern Hungarian filmmaking, in his works he examined\u003cbr\u003e\noppressive authority and the mechanics of power.\u003cbr\u003e\nThe Round-Up (1966) depicts a prison camp in the aftermath of the 1848 Hungarian\u003cbr\u003e\nRevolution. After the Hapsburg monarchy succeeds in suppressing a nationalist\u003cbr\u003e\nuprising, the army sets about arresting suspected guerillas, who are subject to\u003cbr\u003e\ntorture. Jancsó’s camera stays in constant, hypnotic motion, meditating upon\u003cbr\u003e\nand exalting its characters’ resistance and perseverance in the face of brutal,\u003cbr\u003e\nauthoritarian repression. A true classic of world cinema. Restored in 4K from its\u003cbr\u003e\noriginal 35mm camera negative by National Film Institute Hungary – Film Archive.\u003cbr\u003e\nThe Red and the White (1967) is a haunting, powerful film about the absurdity and\u003cbr\u003e\nevil of war. Set in Central Russia during the Civil War of 1918, it details the murderous\u003cbr\u003e\nentanglements between Russia’s Red soldiers and the counter-revolutionary\u003cbr\u003e\nWhites in the hills along the Volga. The epic conflict moves with skillful speed\u003cbr\u003e\nfrom a deserted monastery to a riverbank hospital to a final, unforgettable hillside\u003cbr\u003e\nmassacre. With his brilliant use of exceptionally long takes, vast and unchanging\u003cbr\u003e\nlandscapes and Tamás Somló ‘s hypnotic black and white photography, Jancsó\u003cbr\u003e\ngives the film the quality of a surreal nightmare. In the director’s uncompromising\u003cbr\u003e\nworld, people lose all sense of identity and become hopeless pawns in the ultimate\u003cbr\u003e\ngame of chance.
