Jön az öcsém
My Brother is Coming
Year: 1919
A domestic scene. The worker reads a newspaper; his wife patches a piece of clothing. Their eyes are darkly circled; their frowning eyebrows show the anguish of waiting. A few close-ups are sufficient to set the film on its way. The sequences follow one after the other without transitions. A poem justifies the ellipses.
This simplistic fable presents several tableaux glorifying the dictatorship of the proletariat.
The hero’s destiny bears a strange resemblance to that of the Hungarian communist leader Bela Kun. Veritable hymn to the proletarian upturn in fortune, this film praised the triumphant socialism that submerged the young Hungarian nation between March and August 1919.
