The Technique and the Rite

Directed by Miklós Jancsó

Starring József Madaras, Marco Guglielmi

The narrative concerns the barbaric exploits of Attila The Hun and yet none of the characters ever leave the remote seaside stretch of land on which the film is set or do much of anything – with the ensuing moralizing interrupted only by the occasional (and equally obscure) music-infused rites.
