Kőszegi Ábel

A man sleeping is haunted by surreal and everyday images: a grotesque dream-scape of the socialist countryside.

Allegory of the suppression of the 1919 revolution and the advent of fascism in Hungary; in the countryside, a unit of the revolutionary army spares the life of father Vargha, a fanatical priest. He comes back and leads massacres. A new force, represented by Feher, apparently avenges the people, but only to impose a different, more refined and effective kind of repression.

An Imperial Message is a 1975 Hungarian experimental film directed by László Najmányi. The 'story' was based on Franz Kafka's short story Eine kaiserliche Botschaft.
