Hungarian master Miklós Jancsó's seminal film is both masterful and absurdist, using cutting-edge cinematic techniques to show the chaos and pointlessness of war.
Sounds great. Thanks for this. I'll definitely see it. Regarding nudity and shock, my own feeling is that it's not about "shock" at all, but perhaps modesty and respect for a character or victim (or even the story itself) since full-frontal nudity doesn't add much in my opinion. This is something I know today's directors, producers, and commentators wouldn't even think of as logical or true. My own feeling is that partial nudity is a much more potent expression of bodily vulnerability and nuance than a blatant display. For what it's worth. :)
