      • Trivia
        This is the first time Miklós Jancsó's DOP was János Kende. The two already knew each other since Kende worked in The Red and the White (1967) as an assistant cameraman. Jancsó was unsatisfied with Kende's work, reshoot the entire first day and wanted to fire him. Finally, the two made it up, and their friendship is legendary.

      Beautiful cinematography
      The film is beautifuly filmed although the graininess and narrow dynamic range partially counteract that. It depicts a snakes and ladders series of bullying, everyone takes what opportunities they get to make life sour for the others around them but there is no static pecking order as everyone has different levels of leverage with everyone else. Entertaining for a cineast but not so much for anyone else.
