Wiki.

The Confrontation (Hungarian: Fényes szelek,, literally "Sparkling Winds", the name of a revolutionary song) is a 1969 Hungarian drama film directed by Miklós Jancsó. Filmed in and around the Benedictine Pannonhalma Archabbey, it is set (despite its colorful modern dress) in 1947, during the Second Hungarian Republic. The plot involves tensions between leaders of a student revolutionary group (People's National Association of Colleges or NÉKOSZ) that takes over the Benedictine High School of Pannonhalma: Laci believes in befriending and convincing the high school students, but Jutka tries to resort to revolutionary terror. Both are deposed by the plainclothes police who have been complicit in the takeover.

The film is shot in Jancsó's characteristic long takes and makes extensive use of song. It was listed to compete at the 1968 Cannes Film Festival, but the festival was cancelled due to the events of May 1968 in France.
