Why it’s a Monday Morning Maybe

With a box office flop and almost no lasting buzz, this one could be a tough watch. Keep your phone handy.

Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.

Is it for you?

Who'll love it
One for war-film fans and people who like stories about real, flawed people. Best on a quiet night when you're in the mood to feel something. Fans of Braveheart or The Guns of Navarone should feel right at home.
The mood
Intense.
The pace
Gives its people room to develop, at 2 hr 4 min.
What might put you off
  • It's in another language, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
  • Made in 1978: an older pace and style.
  • Not the one if you want explosions or easy laughs.

The film tells the story of a regiment of Hungarian hussars stationed in Poland. The hussars, mostly ordinary men, have heard news of the uprising and wish to return to the homeland to defend the newly independent country. The Empire, on the other hand, is firmly resolved that all Hungarian troops in the imperial army should be kept as far away from the trouble spot as possible, knowing that most soldiers would be loyal to Budapest rather than Vienna.
