Talpuk alatt fütyül a szél (1976)

György Szomjas's genre-creating (eastern) popular cinema does not dream of an idealised world of outlaws, but goes back to the actual ethnographic and folk music foundations. And so it has everything that a traditional adventure film needs: chase, ménage, slaughter, horse-stealing, fighting.

The film takes us back to the outlaw world of the 1830s, when the protagonist, Gyurka the Wolf Trapper (Đoko Rosić), escapes from prison and returns to the Karcag wastelands to take revenge on his betters. The shepherds of the puszta see him as a protection, because their living space is severely restricted by the rich, capitalizing castle county. Even the impoverished dzsentriivadék's silent leader, Balázs Mérges (István Bujtor), only pursues the notorious outlaw leader in a piecemeal manner, until Gyurka kills a shepherd because of the scheming Jeles Matyi (Vladan Holec), who is seeking leadership. A bounty is put on his head, and after he takes down Matyi, the shepherds put him on the gallows. After the screening, Szilárd Béla Jávorszky, who also gave the introduction, talks to the film's composer, Ferenc Sebő.

Contemporary Hungarian film and (rock) music have been in contact practically since the late 1960s. Sometimes more intensively, sometimes more loosely, but essentially inseparable. Before the screenings, Béla Szilárd Jávorszky will talk briefly about the birth of these works and their significance in pop history, and then he will discuss the films and their music with a guest, this season the composers of the films.
