Description:
György Szomjas's first feature film, following a decade of short documentaries, is a Western set on the Hungarian puszta in 1837. The film blends the visual style of Miklós Jancsó with the storytelling of Sergio Leone. It begins with a lone horseman riding past a gallows. The story follows the return of a legendary outlaw who becomes a hero to local herdsmen fighting against the government's construction of a canal on their land. Based on ethnographic records and archival material, this violent, raw film is likely to resonate more with Hungarian audiences than with critics. Featuring classic Western characters like young guns and crooked sheriffs, the widescreen film is visually striking, with cinematography by Elémer Ragályi, known for his work with Gyula Gazdag, and rich, autumnal colors.
