CONTENTS 5 The place of the socialist film within the world’s cinema A lecture by A. Karaganov 10 Things experienced by Hungarian film-makers over the past fifteen years Theses and ideas contributed two the debate (Miklós Almási) The two lectures were held at the Budapest meeting of socialist cinematic artists. Balance 15 Károly Alexa: What the anniversary demands György Révész: Who’s seen me? György Révész is perhaps the most literary of Hungarian film-makers. On the occasion of the centenerary of Endre Ady’s birth he made a film that evokes the great poet. In the critic’s view the script does a better job, the film itself shows itself less competent at giving some idea of Ady’s importance. 18 Marianne Ember: Swept by instincts Márta Mészáros: The two of them Márta Mészáros’s new film once again looks at human relations with a questioning eye. Ms Ember argues that Ms Mészáros’s point of view is neither that of a sociologist, nor that of a feminist. What she endeavours to do in this film is to bring out the nature of instincts and emotions. 23 István Tamás: Variations of historical remembrance János Rózsa: Battlefield, Vince Lakatos: Mohács mystery 27 Ferenc Szakály: Notes on a battlefield János Rózsa’s and Vince Lakatos’s documentaries are linked to the consecration of a historical memorial. It tries to establish what it is that lends meaning to the remembering of historical events. 31 István Váncsa: Holy Trinity, or as you like it Pál Zolnay: Shaman Pál Zolnay’s film is a poetic experiment in the depiction of self-recognition. The film’s novelty is of interest, the critic however draws attention to a certain cloudiness in the argument. 35 József Füleki: Human honesty, and humaneness An autumn Soviet film panorama A propos the November showing of new Soviet films Füleki compares the shallowness of box office successes and the noble morality, replete with humaneness, of the message of Soviet films. 43 András Szeredás: A tale of talent Bo Widerberg: Fimpen In the light of Widerberg’s earlier films, Szeredás feels constrained to express his disappointment. 46 Miklós Győrffy: The stations of a man’s life Bresson: Au hasard, Balthazar The article appears on the occasion of the showing of the film by the Budapest Film Museum. 111
