Rating:  - dazzling tracking shots-not for everyone
A fascinating piece of filmmaking. It only contains about a dozen shots--each several minutes long featuring elaborately choreographed tracking shots of a cast of hundreds on foot and horseback in the rolling plains of Hungary amongst swirls of smoke.

To say that director Jancso had a unique vision is an understatement. ... Read More

For example, one of the lines ... Read More
Rating:  - Boring Hippy Art Piece
This is a boring film, namely because it spends its entire devotion to Hungarian dancers. I can't say that I was enthralled, its rather dated, from the 1970's and attempts to merge Marxist dialectics with modern drama and it fails miserably. Although it is commendable only for its art leanings, nothing else......
