- Synopsis:
"Silence and Cry" is an elliptical, claustrophobic drama shot in the brilliant, breathtaking long takes that are Hungarian master Miklos Jancso's trademark. Set in 1919, a young soldier fleeing an anti-Communist manhunt takes refuge at an isolated farm, only to discover that the peasant family who shelter him are already under police scrutiny. The final part of an epic unofficial trilogy, following 'The Round-Up' and 'The Red and the White', the film explores the cruel mechanics of oppression and resistance within the family, and how they echo the political turmoil that rages outside. The brutal beauty of 'Silence and Cry' reveals the terrible impact of tyrannical power, politics and history. - Actors:
