Synopsis:
This film is a poetical portrayal of the peasants uprising at a Hungarian estate in 1890. The directors main concern is to explore the uprising’s motives and to question its morality and justification of violence… This is certainly Miklós Jancsos most famous film, for which he won an award at the Cannes film festival. An interesting fact about this film is that it was made in only 28 frames.
