Description

Gyrgy Szomjass first featuremade after a decade of short documentariesis a bold attempt at a goulash western, set on the puszta, or Great Hungarian Plain, in 1837. Mixing Mikls Jancs imagery and a Sergio Leone narrative, this ballad-like saga opens with image of a lone horseman on the empty plain, riding past a rude gallows. The film concerns the vengeful return of a legendary betyr (outlaw), briefly a hero to the local herdsmen who oppose the state building a canal across their grazing land. Although Szomjas works from ethnographic records and archival material, it is hardly surprising that this violent, primitivist film would be more popular with Hungarian audiences than critics. Replete with young guns, crooked sheriffs, tavern brawlers and hardbitten plug-uglies, this widescreen film is strikingly shot by Elmer Raglyi (cinematographer for most of Gyula Gazdags films)a feast of loamy, autumnal colors.
