Collection of 23 vintage borderless reference photographs from the 1967 film, including one showing director Miklós Jancsó on the set. Annotations in manuscript ink and pencil, along with provenance labels, on the versos. A Russian-Hungarian co-production, the film was originally commissioned to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the 1917 October Revolution, led by Lenin's Bolsheviks. However, Jancsó chose to set the action two years later in 1919, focusing on the Hungarian soldiers supporting the Red Army in fighting the Whites. Instead of an idealized depiction of the revolution, the resultant release was bleak and profoundly antiheroic, and is today considered one of the masterpieces of Hungarian cinema. Generally 7 x 5 inches, some with wide bottom margins. Very Good plus to Near Fine. Rosebaum 1000. Vogel, Film as a Subversive Art.
