Quiet and Cold as Revenge

Beautiful work done by Miklos Jancso and probably one of his best. The director style is unique and therefore is an opinion divider. And that proves his artistic talent, for good or worse.

Here we are injected with outdoor theatric style with great live nature scenario working in tempo the synchronized choreography of actors and camera. The dialogs are great but occasionally lack in depth and consequently some scenes feel vague and empty.

Still, this is a true work of art, caring for all elements of originality and maintaining enough of a good pace of livelihood. The acting is suspended in air (and time) keeping the notion of time and space loose and freeing actors and audience from dates, and specifics of Historical events and transcends it all with lightness.

Nearly a masterpiece. Mythology and theater fans should see it.
