Summary: In Hungary, the national movement led by Kossuth has been crushed and the Austrian hegemony re-established, but partisans carry on with violent actions. In order to root out the guerilla, the army rounds up suspects and jails them in an isolated fort. The authorities do not have the identity of the guerilla leaders, who are supposed to be present among the prisoners. However, they know enough about some of the suspects to apply perfidious forms of coercion effectively. (imdb)

The term "Kafka-esque" definitely applies here. It calls to mind another Jancso film, The Red and the White, where neither side of the conflict is worth rooting for, not to mention more of that impressive, fluid camerawork. Both are outstanding, powerful, slightly surreal examinations of moral indifference. Red & White has a broader sweep which covers more thematic ground, but the narrower focus of Round-Up actually lets you get to know a few of the characters.
