Hungarian Rhapsody (Hungarian: Magyar rapszódia) is a 1979 Hungarian drama film directed by Miklós Jancsó. It was entered into the 1979 Cannes Film Festival.[1] It won Golden Peacock (Best Film) at the 7th International Film Festival of India.
The film depicts "a peasant revolt in Hungary in the early twentieth century."[2] "Hungarian Rhapsody and Allegro Barbaro (both 1978) formed the first two parts of an uncompleted trilogy on the life of a nationalist executed in 1944 for his involvement in an anti-Hitler plot. Both were judged too parochial to travel abroad.", commented the Sydney Morning Herald at the death of the director.[3]
