The Round-Up [DVD]

Set in a detention camp in Hungary 1869, at a time of guerrilla campaigns against the ruling Austrians, Jancso deliberately avoids conventional heroics to focus on the persecution and dehumanisation manifest in a time of conflict. Filmed in Hungary's desolate and burning landscape, Jancso uses his formidable technique to create a remarkable and terrifying picture of war and the abuse of power that is still very relevant today.
