Merry Go Round (Aka Korhinta) Blu-Ray

In her dazzling debut, Mari Törőcsik plays a young girl who falls for a farmhand but is unwillingly promised to a rich man.

Wonderful, freely rolling cameras are combined with expressive editing and evocative music to powerfully convey the freedom that love offers despite oppression. This rich, beautiful film is widely considered one of the finest in Hungarian cinema.

Merry-Go-Round (Körhinta), originally released as part of "Hungarian Masters," is now presented as a standalone release. 

Selected by international critics as one of the "10 best Hungarian films of all time."
