Through her vulnerability we clearly see the interdependency of society at that time. Anna moves from paradise to a family lacking in love or compassion, where she loses everything and everyone who once loved her. The director of the film based on the novel of the same name by Dezső Kosztolányi worked out the scenes with absolute precision. Thanks to this and the finest actors of the age, we have one of the most moving films ever made in Hungary.

“From the very moment when Anna turns up in the story, everything you see is presented from her point of view… My purpose was to make the viewer experience along with her the complicated psychological process she is undergoing: the mental stages of heart-sickening solitude, of endless humiliation, of suddenly awakening love, of sudden ecstasy, of the pangs of love, of forsakenness, of ultimate depression, and of final exaltation.” – Zoltán Fábri.

A vast, leafy tree stands in the centre of the field. One ambitious apple on a branch does everything to ripen as soon as possible and break away from the branch that ‘holds it back’, while these restless efforts are viewed with profound contempt by the withered apples around it. The young fruit’s efforts are finally rewarded and while the brief moment of freefall induces euphoria, it ends up crushed by the laws of physics.

When I filmed there, parts of the building had been repurposed, converted into an old people’s home and a Russian barrack. Everything was in a very run-down state. Dilapidated palaces in which old, confused people lived who still had their own opinions about the world and fateful stories to tell. And behind them, one can still see the baroque facades and snow-white fireplaces in the film.” – Judit Elek.

Only those movies have truly something to say that go beyond the crack of rifle fire to present personal dramas as well. Ferenc Kósa’s unusual, pacifist war film depicts the hell of carnage in all its senselessness. Characters of this gaunt, tight-lipped story wander through a beautiful landscape seeking their own truth or just the possibility of survival. The film is all the more memorable for the cinematography of Sándor Sára, the powerful screenplay and the acting of, for instance, Péter Haumann.

Behind every expression lies an entire life, a destiny,” Ferenc Grunwalsky once declared. While making a sociological documentary, the director-cinematographer came across a young mother who so caught his attention that he decided to devote an entire portrait film to her. In the absence of dialogue, the most minute expressions become the film’s ‘protagonists’, and instead of explanatory narration and captions the power of imagery prevails.

“According to the original plan, Anyaság began as a sociography about the Roma (Grunwalsky was one of the signatories of the Sociological Film Group! manifesto), but it ultimately could not be realized. Thus, the filmmaker found his subject, an eighteen-year-old woman with two children, and filmed one of the most moving and profound portraits in Hungarian film history. All this in such a way that we actually do not learn much about the young girl in terms of facts, but we learn much more about everything that lies behind the facts – about her fate, about herself and her environment. Thanks to its primary meaning, the film takes an important step when it breaks away from the Roma theme and speaks about deep poverty. In this way, it draws attention to a sociologically important circumstance in Kádár-era Hungary, namely that it is not the Roma issue, but poverty that represents the real and extremely serious social problem. At the same time, the more abstract meaning opens up to an idea that is not independent of the social, but goes far beyond it, and now speaks of the poverty of existence in an existential sense.” – Gábor Gelencsér.

Although under the Marxist interpretation of history of the period the revolt was frequently simplified down to an early example of ‘class struggle’, in the screenplay of Ferenc Kósa and Sándor Csoóri the depiction of historical events bears the universally valid formulation of questions about revolution and violence, while the figure of Dózsa – thanks also to the characterization of Ferenc Bessenyei – takes on a more lifelike and human aspect.
