hufilmtv1-10, Exercise 3: A viewing list

Model answer (one possible list; check availability with subtitles, restorations and rights):

1. Casablanca (1942), directed by Michael Curtiz (Chapter 2): the best-known work of the Hungarian emigre generation. Widely available.
2. Korhinta (1955), Zoltan Fabri (Chapter 3): a popular state-era film, if a subtitled copy can be found.
3. The Round-Up (1966), Miklos Jancso (Chapter 4): the New Wave and the long take. Restorations exist.
4. A tanu (1969, shown 1979), Peter Bacso (Chapter 5): the cult satire, if a subtitled version can be found.
5. Son of Saul (2015), Laszlo Nemes Jeles (Chapter 8): the recent prize-winner. Take care with the subject.

Justification: the list spans the emigre generation, state cinema, the New Wave, Kadar-era satire and the post-1989 festival cinema. Alternatives: Kontroll (2003) for a popular genre film, Szabo's Mephisto, a Vuk or Mezga episode for animation, and Tarr's Werckmeister Harmonies for slow cinema.
