The 1969 feature film Sirokko (original Hungarian title: Sirokkó ) is a Franco-Hungarian co-production directed by Miklós Jancsó . The Hungarian script by Jancsó and Guyla Hernádi was adapted in a French version by Francis Girod and Jacques Ruffio . Similar to Jancsó's silence and scream , sirocco takes place in a rural, narrowly defined area. The film captures him in long tracking shots. The historical inspiration - King Alexander of Yugoslavia and the assassination attempt on him in Marseille in 1934, which the Ustascha , a Croatian fascist movement carried out, is quoted in newsreel excerpts at the beginning, but is not the actual subject of the film. Jancsó works out the core of totalitarian methods in a metaphorical way: "The relationships between individuals are characterized by aggressiveness - threats, blackmail, denunciations - there is no room for trust." The work was invited to the Cannes Film Festival in 1968, but was because of the Unrest that led to the festival being canceled is not listed.
action
A winter in the early 1930s. Marko, a Croatian nationalist and a hero who has become a symbol of the struggle, belongs to a radical movement. The group is planning an assassination attempt on the Yugoslav king, which is why Marko should attract as little attention as possible until further notice. Since Marko was recognized and the police are looking for him, he hides in a park lock in rural Hungary. He would much rather fight, but the people around him are trying to stop him. He gets involved with Ilona until he realizes that she has been assigned to seduce him and thus dissuade him from his plans to attack. Ilona returns to her lover Maria. When a group of enemy agents shows up, Marko disarms the men who are being executed by his comrades. Ultimately, the movement sacrifices him because he is more useful to it as a martyr than alive.
