  The Round Up takes place within a detention camp in the remote Hungarian countryside after the collapse of the 1848 revolution against Austrian domination. A formal variation on the main patterns of ritual power Jansco deliberately side-steps revolutionary heroics and focuses on the persecutions and de-humanizations which always accompany conflict. Filmed in hungary's desolate sun scorched landscape Jansco's formidable technique - his austere formalism and stark cinematic vision - has produced a remarkable and terrifying picture of war and its cost.
