Set in Central Russia during the Civil War of 1918, the story details the murderous entanglements between Russia’s Red soldiers and the counter-revolutionary Whites in the hills along the Volga. The epic conflict moves with skillful speed from a deserted monastery to a riverbank hospital to a final, unforgettable hillside massacre.Banned for many years in the U.S.S.R., Hungarian director Miklos Jansco's masterful THE RED AND THE WHITE is a haunting, powerful film about the absurdity and evil of war.
