One of the most important Hungarian films of the 1960’s, Andras Kovacs’ Cold Days was an extremely courageous theme to tackle at the time, in view of the silence which had, until then, shrouded the Hungarian role in World War II. The film is based on the massacre of several thousand Jewish and Serbian people of Novi Sad in 1942. “The film is structured round the memories and self-justifications of four men involved in the massacre as they await trial in 1946. Each, of course, denies his complicity or responsibility…Many of the images in the film remain unforgettable.” —1worldfilms.com
