The Round Up Janos Gorbe 2008 DVD Top-quality Free UK shipping

The Round-Up takes place within a detention camp in the remote Hungarian countryside, after the collapse of the 1848 revolution against Austrian domination. A formal variation on the main patterns of the ritual of power, Jansc deliberately side-steps revolutionary heroics and focuses on the persecutions and dehumanizationswhich always accompany conflict. Filmed in Hungary’s desolate sun-scorched landscape, Jansc’s formidable technique – his austere formalism and stark cinematic vision – has produced a remarkable and terrifying picture of war and it’s cost.
