HUNGARIANS, THE
(Magyarok)

Year: 1978
Country: Hungary
Run Time: 110 minutes

HUNGARIANS, THE

Fabri, one of the first Hungarian directors to gain worldwide attention, usually concentrates his cinematic efforts on depicting the war-torn cities and moral issues facing WW II Germany. With this new film, he is true to form. THE HUNGARIANS, however, is not a typical war film. Fabri has managed to convey the distress and struggle without concentrating on the battle scenes filmgoers have come to expect. Here the battle is within the individual, as Hungarian peasant farmers and their wives are taken to work and live in a remote corner of Germany near the Baltic Sea. Eventually they must decide whether the German land holdings they have earned through their hard labor are more important than the devotion they feel to their fatherland. A 1979 Academy Award nominee for Best Foreign Language Film.
