An elliptical, claustrophobic drama shot in the brilliant, breathtaking long takes that are Jancsó's trademark, Silence and Cry is set after the fall of the short-lived Hungarian Soviet Republic of 1919. A young Red soldier, fleeing the anti-Communist manhunt, takes refuge at the isolated farm of a peasant family, who are already under police scrutiny for being politically suspect... Working on a more intimate canvas, following the epic The Round-Up and The Red and the White (of which this film forms the final part of an unofficial trilogy) Hungarian master Jancsó's film is still very much concerned with the terrible, tyrannical impact of power, politics and history.
