In his brilliant, multilayered antiwar drama Forest of the Hanged, renowned Romanian director Liviu Ciulei captures the First World War through the eyes of Apostol Bologa, an officer in the Austro-Hungarian army. For a film that seems as fresh today as it did almost 50 years ago when it was made, the creator took Best Director at the 1965 Cannes festival.
Based on the novel by Liviu Rebreanu.
