  Second Run presents a selection of essential works by Hungarian cinema's most renowned filmmakers. This special edition box set contains these celebrated films presented from stunning new 4K restorations and released for the first time ever on Blu-ray. The set includes Zoltán Fábri's Merry-Go-Round (Körhinta, 1955); István Gaál's Current (Sodrásban, 1963) and Miklós Jancsó's Agnus Dei (Égi bárány, 1970) Zoltán Fábri's beloved film is considered one of the finest in all of Hungarian cinema. A love story set against the rural backdrop of communist farming collectives, a young girl (the great Mari Törőcsik in her film debut) falls for farm worker Máté, but is betrothed by her domineering father to another man. This pastoral take on Romeo and Juliet is a rich and achingly beautiful work, framed by the turbulent changes in society taking place at that time. Voted by international critics as one of the ˜10 Best Hungarian Films of All Time' The heroine of Zoltán Fábri's marvellous film should have the prize for the Best Actress... This is the big prize winner. This is my Palme d'Or. François Truffaut, Cannes 1956 It resounds with love Jean Cocteau Merry-Go-Round is the pinnacle of Hungarian cinema István Szábo Current (Sodrásban) A film by István Gaál A group of young friends on the cusp of adulthood decide to spend one last idyllic day together by the river before they depart for jobs and university. When one of them goes missing, a frantic search begins - and recriminations ensue. Often cited as the first film of the Hungarian New Wave, István Gaál's haunting existential drama contemplates the transience of youth and the impermanence of memory. Echoing Antonioni's L'Avventura and Kurosawa's Rashomon, Current is a powerful and lyrical work that serves as a lament for a generation. Voted by international critics as one of the ˜10 Best Hungarian Films of All Time' 1964 Karlovy Vary International Film Festival / Winner: Best Film 1965 Hungarian Film Critics' Awards / Winner: Best Director, Best Cinematography A film of freshness and poetry in an unmistakably modern tone Pier Paolo Pasolini Miklós Jancsó's symbolic re-enactment of Hungary's 1919 revolution and counter-revolution is another virtuoso display of cinematic skill and artistry, turning history into theatre. The film explores political upheaval, oppression and the complicity of the Church, in this refined, complex allegory of the rise of fascism in Hungary. The dazzling Agnus Dei marks a transition from Jancsó's more traditional narrative films of the 1960s, to the more experimental and provocative works of the 1970s. Jancsó's most enigmatic film a deeply mysterious and symbolic drama [Jancsó] has shown himself in the very forefront of international cinema... photographed by probably the most choreographic camera now at work anywhere: loving, stylized sweeps, caressing pans, circling movements around the actors, astonishing compositions Village Voice Merry-Go-Round (Körhinta), Current (Sodrásban), and Agnus Dei (Égi bárány) presented from new 4K restorations by the National Film Institute Hungary Film Archive.

• ROMA (Masters of Cinema) (Blu-ray) | Blu Ray | (24/02/2014) from £N/A   |  Saving you £N/A (N/A%)   |  RRP £15.99

  One of the maestro Federico Fellini's greatest '70s works (between Satyricon and The Clowns and Amarcord) Roma [Rome] erupts volcanically as a state-of-the-world pronouncement on what was not only happening within Rome at the tide of the hippies' organic birth and the post-Boom-set that made up his characters of the 1960s films but also where and how his city would move feverishly forward into one of potential futures. As Fellini himself travels with his crew to document the ring-road circling Rome with all the natural diversions that might inherently divert a traditional film shoot we move into episodes that chart the wartime difficulties of Roman life across those fleeting times that chronicle love and life within the modern-day Rome-time themselves pitted against the archaeological vestiges of the great city - and the Catholic church rears its dominance and we come into a midpoint that positions itself indeed between the memory-cinema of Satyricon and Amarcord. One of the great and bountiful colour-spectacles of Fellini's cinema almost leapt off toward from the moment of Giulietta of the Spirits Fellini's Roma remains a passionate testament both to the city that finally claimed him as its son after he left small Rimini and to the final stage of cinema that he himself would work till the day he died. The Masters of Cinema Series is proud to present Fellini's Roma in a Blu-ray edition for the first time in the UK. Special Features: Gorgeous restored 1080p HD transfer of the film Outtakes from the film More to be announced closer to the release date 36-Page Booklet featuring the words of Fellini and more
