Synopsis:
Jancso's first film in colour is a virtuoso display by one of cinema's greatest artists. It eloquently explores the complex issues and inherent problems of revolutionary democracy and asks the question: what happens after the revolution is won? Paralleling the dramatic student protests and riots that were exploding across the world in the 1960s when the film was made, 'The Confrontation' is a story of rebellion in Hungary 1947 after the Communist Party had just taken power.
Told in an operatic but supremely naturalistic style with songs of revolution used to punctuate the narrative, The Confrontation combines a radical aesthetic with radical politics to become a film as revolutionary in its form as it is in its subject.
