Merry-Go-Round (Hungarian: Körhinta) is a 1956 Hungarian drama film directed by Zoltán Fábri, based on the short story Kútban (In the Well) by Imre Sarkadi. It was in competition at the 1956 Cannes Film Festival.^[1] It was later selected to be screened in the Cannes Classics section of the 2017 Cannes Film Festival.^[2] The film was chosen to be part both of Budapest Twelve, a list of Hungarian films considered the best in 1968 and its follow-up, the New Budapest Twelve in 2000.^[3]^[4]

Plot

The story takes place in a rural area of Hungary. There are two young people who fall in love with each other. However, the girl's father wants her to marry someone else.^[5] But surprisingly this classic love story intertwines with traditional, political and economic choices.^[6]

The scene where the two lovers are spinning at a dizzying view on the carousel has taken its place in the history of cinema. What makes the scene impressive is that the camera spun with them.^[7]
