CUY.; Screenplay by Gyula Hernadi; cinematography by Tamas Somlo.; [Cast:] Janos Gorbe, Tibor Molnar, Andras Kozak.; "The film is set in 1868, in the newly-created Austro- Hungarian empire. The entire action takes place at an isolated prison, in the midst of a vast, featureless plain. Austrian officials "round up" suspected Hungarian freedom fighters, the remnants of Kossuth's revolutionary army. Jancsó carefully details the subtle techniques used by the oppressors in encouraging prisoners to betray others ... As in My Way Home, Jancsó explores the effect of psychological and physical intimidation on confined human beings."--Audio Brandon catalog.; PFA 1616-01-7498.
