Description:
Cold Days is a 1966 vintage Hungarian movie poster designed by Janos Kass.
Cold Days is a black-and-white Hungarian film drama directed by András Kovács, released in 1966. The screenplay was written by András Kovács from the novel of the same name by Tibor Cseres. The film won the main prize at the 1966 Karlovy Vary International Film Festival, where it also received the prize of the International Association of Film Critics, and it also won the main prize at the 1967 Hungarian Film Festival. Andras Kovacs' film is considered one of the most important Hungarian films of the 1960s.
At the time of the film's release, it attracted intense interest, as its subject was a hidden and shameful historical event, the 1942 massacre in Novi Sad. Although the film is still important from the point of view of unspoken history, its processing method is also permanent from a cinematographic point of view: instead of a traditional linear narrative method, the story unfolds using the time-resolved narration common in modernism, thus shifting the emphasis from the mere historical event to the telling, the confrontation with the past moral compulsion".
In 1946, three men are awaiting the verdict of the court in prison, which examines their role in the 1942 massacre in Novi Sad. The story of the film can be simply summarized: the four participants in the carnage await the court's verdict in a common cell, recall the cold days, justify and justify themselves, as if they are their own defense lawyers.
