Limited Edition version.

István Szabó is perhaps the best-known of all Hungarian filmmakers, having made hugely successful, Oscar-winning films in Hungary, Europe and in Hollywood. This Box Set uncovers the most creative and exuberant period of Szabós Hungarian cinema, with a trio of exceptional films made in collaboration with actor Klaus Maria Brandauer, writer Péter Dobai and cinematographer Lajos Koltai: Mephisto (1981), Colonel Redl (1985) and Hanussen (1988). These films unravel the conflicts of history, society, and the individual in a rich and dazzlingly audacious, yet personal manner.

Mephisto (1981)
Szabós brilliant retelling of the Faust legend centres on a struggling but wildly ambitious actor in 1930s Germany who dispels his political qualms to revel in the adulation he craves. But success, inevitably, comes at a price...
Widely acknowledged as Szabós masterpiece, Mephisto is a haunting study in ambition, opportunism, and compromise.

Colonel Redl (Redl ezredes, 1985)
Set in the years before WW1, the film charts the rise and fall of the brilliant but unscrupulous Alfréd Redl, an ambitious young officer who becomes the head of the Austro-Hungarian Secret Police. Klaus Maria Brandauers brilliant performance conveys the emotional complexity of a life destroyed by deceit and moral cowardice, as Redl becomes a prisoner of his own deceptions.

Hanussen (1988)
Based on a remarkable true story, Szabós third collaboration with Brandauer tracks clairvoyant Hanussens rise in parallel with the Nazi regime to dark, mesmerising effect.
