Klaudia Kovacs's riveting documentary on the 1956 Hungarian Revolution sketches the fragile, shifting line between war and peace, liberty and tyranny, hope and despair, and life and death.
This is a lively piece of history, put together with a good deal of technical skill as well as unmistakable passion.
Superb.
