Product Description
United Kingdom released, PAL/Region 2 DVD: LANGUAGES: Hungarian ( Mono ), English ( Subtitles ), WIDESCREEN (2.35:1), SPECIAL FEATURES: 3-DVD Set, Anamorphic Widescreen, Booklet, Box Set, Cast/Crew Interview(s), Documentary, Interactive Menu, Remastered, Scene Access, SYNOPSIS: My Way Home (1965) In the final days of WWII, a seventeen-year-old boy wanders the countryside. He is captured by Soviet troops, then released, then captured once more - after he has donned a German uniform for warmth - and imprisoned at a remote barracks, where he strikes up an unlikely friendship with a young Russian soldier. The Red And The White (1967) Set in central Russia during the Civil War of 1918, this film from Hungarian auteur Miklos Jancso witnesses the brutality and senselessness of war as the Red and the White armies battle in the hills along the Volga. The Round-Up (1966) The Round-Up takes place within a detention camp in the remote Hungarian countryside, after the collapse of the 1848 revolution against Austrian domination. A formal variation on the main patterns of ritual power, Jansco deliberately side-steps revolutionary heroics and focuses on the persecutions and de-humanizations which always accompany conflict. SCREENED/AWARDED AT: Cannes Film Festival, ...Miklós Jancsó Collection - 3-DVD Box Set ( Így jöttem / Szegénylegények / Csillagosok, katonák ) ( My Way Home / The Round-Up / The Red and the White )

Format:DVD
These three films from legendary Hungarian filmmaker Miklos Jancso are amazing, poignant, beautiful and emotionally shattering tales of war, loss, humanity and corruption.
THE ROUND-UP itself is worth it at this price, but with the addition of THE RED AND THE WHITE and MY WAY HOME this is an absolute bargain!
