Gyula Hernádi
Plot
A stylised story of a doomed uprising, which won him best director at Cannes in 1972.
Sinekatalog’s take
Miklós Jancsó's stylised film stages a doomed peasant uprising through song, dance and long choreographed takes in open fields. Hypnotic and ritualistic, it won Cannes' best director and is a dazzling political folk opera.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
