| Brief Description: | One of the most important Hungarian films of the 1960's, Andras
Kovacs' Cold Days was an extremely courageous theme to tackle at the
time, in view of the silence which had, until then, shrouded the
Hungarian role in World War II. The film is based on the massacre of
several thousand Jewish and Serbian people of Novi Sad in 1942. "The
film is structured round the memories and self-justifications of four
men involved in the massacre as they await trial in 1946. Each, of
course, denies his complicity or responsibilityMany of the images in
the film remain unforgettable." Hungarian with English subtitles. |
