Winter Wind / Sirokkó Director: Miklós Jancsó, Country: Hungary, Release: 1969, Runtime: 91 A co-production with France, composed of only 13 shots, Winter Wind explores a hidden corner of history as a means of casting a light on an entire era. In the mid-1930s, soon after the assassination of the Yugoslav King Alexander in Marseille, a group of Croatian anarchists involved in that plot cross the dense forests at the northern border of Yugoslavia in an effort to seek refuge in Hungary — which has secretly been providing them aid. Their leader, Marko (Jacques Charrier), has become something of a legend of the resistance; his violent, frequently unpredictable behavior, however, has now made him a liability to the movement, and the Hungarians signal that they’d rather not have him on their side of the border. The Round-Up and The Red and the White both avoid focusing on single protagonists, constantly shifting our attention just as we create some kind of connection with a character. Here, Jancsó concentrates on Marko, as he begins to sense that his world is collapsing all around him.
