Red Psalm
Directed by Miklós Jancsó
Produced by Mafilm
A formally ambitious musical-drama that uses song and movement to explore peasant resistance, oppression, and the moral complexities of collective revolt in 1890s Hungary.
Set in the 1890s on the Hungarian plains, a group of farm workers go on strike in which they face harsh reprisals and the reality of revolt, oppression, morality and violence.
