伊斯特凡国王(1984)

剧情简介

匈牙利历史上最受欢迎的音乐电影。80年代匈牙利国内总票房排名第三的影片。一部摇滚歌剧，其中能看到很多活跃在80年代匈牙利摇滚舞台上的乐队和歌手的表演。对铁幕时代的东欧摇滚青年文化感兴趣的人推荐看看。 　　This musical is actually a filmed live performance of the story of King Stephan I of Hungary (ca. 977-1038) who brought Roman Catholicism into the country, united previously separate Magyar states, suppressed pagan beliefs by force, reformed the Church, and supported monasteries and abbeys. He was canonized in 1083 and is the patron saint of Hungary. "Istvan, A Kiraly" was an already popular rock opera and its albums selling well when director Gabor Koltay decided to film a full performance in 1984. Cinematic techniques such as slow motion and freeze-framing add to the drama, just as Dolby Stereo brings out the vocal and instrumental tonalities of the very professional singers and musicians. ~ Eleanor Mannikka, All Movie Guide 　　The legendary Hungarian rock opera by Levente Szorényi and János Bródy from 1983 was the first popular musical ever staged in Hungary, which lead to the Hungarians being very enthusiastic about musical theatre. This first staging from the early eighties is very worth seeing and not to be missed. It deals with the life of legendary Hungarian king Istvan.
