The Red and the White (1967)

1967 · Movie · 90 min. · Hungary

The Red and the White (1967) unfolds in 1919, as Hungarian Communists support the Bolsheviks in their struggle against the Czarists, known as the Whites. The narrative oscillates around a monastery and a field hospital near the Volga, which are repeatedly seized by opposing forces. Prisoners face grim fates, either executed or forced to flee naked into the wilderness. Both sides operate without clear strategies, and the film's focus on individual characters often ends in their swift demise. A notable scene involves a White Cossack officer who, after killing a Hungarian, meets his end at the hands of his own superiors when he attempts to assault a milkmaid. At the hospital, White officers command nurses to don elegant attire and waltz in the woods. A nurse who assists the Reds is later accused of betrayal for complying with White orders. In a poignant moment, Red soldiers march into a vastly superior enemy force, singing as they go. The film portrays war as a senseless and unpredictable ordeal.
