Go in from here and this film is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

What happens
The Red and the White (Hungarian: Csillagosok, katonák) is a 1967 war drama film directed by Miklós Jancsó about the Russian Civil War. The original Hungarian title, Csillagosok, katonák, can be translated as "Stars on their Caps" (literally "Stars, soldiers"), which, as with a number of Jancsó film titles, is a quote from a song. The film follows Hungarian Red Army soldiers led by an ardent commander (József Madaras) battling against the White Army in a remote Russian field near the Volga River. The film was listed to compete at the 1968 Cannes Film Festival, but the festival was canceled due to the events of May 1968 in France. It was voted as "Best Foreign Film of 1969" by the French Syndicate of Cinema Critics. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
