A love story set against the rural backdrop of communist farming collectives, a young girl (the late, great Mari Törőcsik in her film debut) falls for farm worker Máté, but is betrothed by her domineering father to another man. This pastoral on Romeo and Juliet is a rich and achingly beautiful work, framed by the turbulent changes in society taking place at that time. Directed by Zoltán Fábri.Current (Sodrásban)A group of young friends on the cusp of adulthood decide to spend one last idyllic day together by the river before they depart for jobs and university. When one of them goes missing, a frantic search begins - and recriminations ensue. Often cited as the first film of the Hungarian New Wave, István Gaál's haunting existential drama contemplates the transience of youth and the impermanence of memory. Echoing Antonioni's L'Avventura and Kurosawa's Rashomon, Current is a powerful and lyrical work that serves as a lament for a generation. Directed by István Gaál.Agnus Dei (Égi bárány)Miklós Jancsó's symbolic re-enactment of Hungary's 1919 revolution and counter-revolution is another virtuoso display of cinematic skill and artistry, turning history into theatre. The film explores political upheaval, oppression and the complicity of the Church, in this refined, complex allegory of the rise of fascism in Hungary. The dazzling Agnus Dei marks a transition from Jancsó's more traditional narrative films of the 1960s, to the more experimental and provocative works of the 1970s. Directed by Miklós Jancsó.SPECIAL FEATURES AND TECHNICAL SPECS:NEW 4K RESTORATIONS OF ALL THREE FILMS BY THE HUNGARIAN NATIONAL FILM INSTITUTE ARCHIVEMerry-Go-Round 1955 screen testsAn archival interview with Miklós Jancsó (1987)Award-winning Hungarian filmmaker István Szabó on the influence and cinematic legacy of Zoltán FibrinTisza - Autumn Sketches (Tisza - Őszi vázlatok, 1962): director István Gaál's acclaimed short film observing autumn descend along the river TiszaA new filmed appreciation of CurrentThe restoration of Merry-Go-RoundTrailersIndividual booklets with new writing on each film by Hungarian cinema experts John Cunningham, Peter Hames and Tony RaynsNew and improved English subtitle translationsAnd More...REGION-FREE
