Silence And Cry An elliptical, claustrophobic drama shot in the brilliant, breathtaking long takes that are Jancsó s trademark, Silence and Cry is set after the fall of the short-lived Hungarian Soviet Republic of 1919. A young Red soldier, fleeing the anti-Communist manhunt, takes refuge at the isolated farm of a peasant family, who are already under police scrutiny for being politically suspect... Working on a more intimate canvas, following the epic The Round-Up and The Red and the White (of which this film forms the final part of an unofficial trilogy ) Hungarian... master Jancsó's film is still very much concerned with the terrible, tyrannical impact of power, politics and history. Features: Silence and Cry (1968) presented from a brand new 2K restoration of the film by the Hungarian Digital Archive and Film Institute, supervised by the film's cinematographer János Kende. Original Hungarian soundtrack in Dual Mono 24-bit LPCM audio Booklet featuring a new essay on the film by critic and film historian Tony Rayns New and improved English subtitle translation.
