More than anything, this is a film about the bleak, hopeless condition of resistance against state repression. Whether that be post-1848, post-1956 or the Orban era, Jancsó captures that slow, Hungarian desolation that Bela Tarr will go on to master.

The cinematography here is stunning. The long takes, sonic ambience and backdrops of the  Hungarian Steppe sets a surreal, alienating environment that somehow brings to mind Jodorowsky at his best. An incredible film that should be seen in a cinema

Week #52: I don't know how, but we are going to have an exam on this movie tomorrow. So, this was just a mandatory watch for class. I liked the ending, and the black and white cinematography of the Great Plains a lot, but I didn't get much out of the story. An art film, that doesn't really care about audience enjoyment. What a shame.

Manipulation: The Movie

This is so effective that I feel taken advantage of and I was just watching it lmao. Once you really start thinking about the actions of the soldiers it just gets more and more disturbing, the absolute lack of humanity and care is awful.

Janscó has this methodical approach to tracking and framing that makes these conversations, no matter the topic, seem almost meditative. You take into account the nature of the premise here and everything is elevated to the next level.
