THREE HUNGARIAN FILMS - MADE IN SIXTIES - BY HUNGARY'S WELL-KNOWN FILM DIRECTOR, MIKLÓS JANCSÓ
Here is a chance to enjoy several films, each directed by Miklós Jancsó in a triple-bill presentation, that makes one wish that the streets of London were - once again, full of snow and that people's sole concern was to find a cosy cinema to keep warm in order to enjoy a feast "Magyar" cinematography. "My Way Home / "Így Jötttem" (1964, 108 mins) is the name of the first film to be screened, at 4pm. It stars Andras Kozak and Sergei Nikonenko. Following this is the slightly shorter, The Round-Up / "Szegénylegények" (1966, 95 mins). The final film is the shortest of the three, but is the most recent. It is called The Red And The White / "Csillagosok Katonak" (1967, 93 mins). The films are in Hungarian, with English subtitles...
