From the director of The Round-Up, My Way Home and Red Psalm. Paralleling the dramatic student protests and riots that were exploding across the world in the 1960s at the time the film was made; The Confrontation is a story of protest and rebellion in 1947 Hungary when the Communist Party have just taken power. Jancs's first colour film is another virtuoso display by a director at the peak of his powers, and eloquently explores the complex issues and inherent problems of revolutionary democracy.
The setting is a Central European kingdom near the turn of the century. Bored by his very proper wife the youthful heir to the throne spends his time in amorous dalliances at a sprawling country estate. His wife departs at the arrival of his friends and they organize a celebration which becomes a wild orgy and culminates in death and tragedy.
