When Hungary's newest prime minister is shot and killed at a reception, the resulting investigation is necessarily swift and comprehensive. This compelling political thriller uncovers two prime suspects: the woman who guns the leader down, and a man who was friends with both the prime minister and his murderer. Using video surveillance footage, as well as other more artful and symbolic imagery, the noted "visualist" director Miklos Jancso, who is known for his craft in getting his points across non-verbally, combines fantasy and reality in a highly ironic manner.

From the film-shooting in the Buda Castle Marci and his friend go to a well-paying job. The scene is a big castle in the middle of a huge park. They enjoy the company of the Kid and the beautiful naked French girl, Nathalie. Their job is to watch the monitors on which they can see the Moscow coup détat. By the time Gorbachev is executed the Communist and the Nationalists have taken turns in occupying the castle and the park.

Jancso emphasizes highly evocative and ambiguous imagery over dialog or exposition. Here he seems primarily interested in showing the painful, stunted lives of Hungary's intellectuals, who are shown as remaining silent and ineffectual during various political crises. There are several action sequences involving chases and shootouts, but since there's no clear narrative we're not sure how they relate to each other or to anything else. The film is, however, visually fascinating, with shots of police cars, horses, and naked bodies juxtaposed and extensive use of multiple video imagery.

Reminiscente dos últimos trabalhos de Bela Tarr, "Electra, Meu Amor" de Miklós Jancsó é constituída por uma série de extremamente lentos e extremamente longos planos (há apenas oito tomas principais, cada uma com duração de uma bobine inteira de filme). Mais vídeo de música contemplativa do que filme convencional, "Electra, Meu Amor" é baseado em "Oresteia", um mito grego escrito por Ésquilo, um dramaturgo trágico antigo. O filme é protagonizado por Marie Toriocsik como Electra, uma mulher torturada que serve como uma espécie de metáfora para o povo da Hungria e seu sofrimento histórico. Ela percorre a paisagem de Jancso com uma cara melancólica, com raiva de Aegisztosz por conspirar com sua mãe para matar Agamenon, seu pai.

Silêncio e Grito de Miklós Jancsó é ambientado durante uma era turbulenta de inquietação, medo, perseguição e terror, que permeia todos os cantos da sociedade pós-Primeira Guerra Mundial húngara. Em 1919, depois de poucos meses de governo comunista, a República Húngara dos Concílios foi vítima de uma contra-revolução nacionalista.

The beginning shows Hungary devastated by the war and the postwar reconstruction with its communist government. Our hero (played first by Dániel Erdély and later, as a young man, by András Bálint) is clearly determined to find out what he can about his father who died young.

He never really finds out but his relationship with his mother, his friends and his Jewish girlfriend will make him totally independent of this need to find all about Apa or Father.
