Synopsis
Considered by many to be Jancso's masterpiece, this haunting film focuses on the absurdity and evil of war. Set on the border between Hungary and Russia in 1918, the story documents the constant shifting of power between the White Guards and the Red Army. Jancso masterfully uses lengthy tracking shots to create a distinctively Hungarian vision of history and to produce a cinematic dynamism with intensive kinesthetic impact.
