The film depicts "a peasant revolt in Hungary in the early twentieth century." "Hungarian Rhapsody and Allegro Barbaro (both 1978) formed the first two parts of an uncompleted trilogy on the life of a nationalist executed in 1944 for his involvement in an anti-Hitler plot. Both were judged too parochial to travel abroad.", commented the Sidney Morning Herald at the death of the director.
