The Trial of Martinovics and the Hungarian Jacobins

Synopsis

For this austere, clear and sharp telefeature, Judit Elek focused on the last months of Martinovics’ life: his interrogation by the Austrians, the examining Magistrate Schilling in particular, shown as a battle of wits as well as delusions – on both sides. Elek had wanted to make this film in the early 1970s, but wasn’t allowed to.

History may not repeat itself, but the variations look eerily similar...
