Directed by Zoltán Fábri • 1976 • Hungary
Golden Prize Winner , Moscow International Film Festival 1977
Considered by many to be Zolán Fábri’s masterpiece, The Fifth Seal is a war drama with a difference. During the brief, brutal rule of the fascist Arrow Cross Party in the closing days of the Second World War, five friends convene in a Budapest bar. Replete with philosophical, Biblical, and art historical references and shot in Fábri’s distinctive, fluid style, The Fifth Seal is a chamber drama both claustrophobic and expansive.
Watchmaker Miklós (Lajos Őze) poses his companions an unusual hypothetical: would they rather live as comfortable tyrants or conscientious slaves? As the forces of darkness gather on the streets outside, this throwaway question soon takes on terrifying real-world significance.
