Event Details : Fabri Film Club screens the film 'Merry Go Round (Körhinta)'.
In a rural scenario in the throes of difficult changes, lives a humble but promising young farmer
girl called Mari Pataki. Her father forbids her from seeing the man she loves. The father, above all
preoccupied by work on the fields and prospective wealth, decides to give his daughter in marriage to
an old but rich man with whom he does business. “Land marries land”, he says. This seems to be the
unyielding rule of the Hungarian peasantry. But the young lover is ready to stand up to any challenge to
keep Mari’s love.
This film has a surprisingly unrestrained tone given the period when it was directed and is very
innovative as regards its form. The critic John Gilett of the British Film Institute is right to say that “the
virtuoso work on the image gives the film a poignant freshness”. The film was nominated for the Palme
d’Or at the 1956 Cannes Festival.
