Merry-go-round

£17.99

Released: 27th May 2024. Zoltán Fábri's striking film is a powerful love story set against the turbulent changes to rural life in 1950s Hungary. In her dazzling debut performance, the late, great Mari Törocsik plays a young girl who falls for a farm worker, but is betrothed against her will to a wealthy man. Gorgeous free-wheeling camera work combines with expressive editing and evocative use of music to powerfully convey the freedom love offers in the face of repression. This rich, beautiful film is widely considered one of the finest in Hungarian cinema.
