La Biennale di Venezia, 1982. . Plot Reception "This Renaissance fantasy uses wind machines, conveyor belts, masks, duck-shape codpieces, occasional tomtom accompaniment and a bear's cage decorated with origami birds. It also employs an abundance of mime, which is a good many people's least favorite performing art.

Miklós Jancsó
Miklós Jancsó (; 27 September 192131 January 2014) was a Hungarian film director and screenwriter. Jancsó achieved international prominence starting in the mid-1960s with works including '' The Round-Up'' (''Szegénylegények'', 1965), ''The Red and the White'' (''Csillagosok, katonák'', 1967), and ''Red Psalm'' (''Még kér a nép'', 1971). Jancsó's films are characterized by visual stylization, elegantly choreographed shots, long takes, historical periods, rural settings, and a lack of psychoanalyzing. A frequent theme of his films is the abuse of power. His works are often allegorical commentaries on Hungary under Communism and the Soviet occupation, although some critics prefer to stress the universal dimensions of Jancsó's explorations. Towards the end of the 1960s and especially into the 1970s, Jancsó's work became increasingly stylized and overtly symbolic. Early life Miklós Jancsó was born to Hungarian Sandor Jancsó and Romanian Angela Poparada.Wakeman, John ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
