Hadik
Available from 25 December – 29 January
Directed by János Szikora • 2023 • Hungary
János Szikora’s rip-roaring period piece plunges us into the heart of battle as the Seven Years’ War tears across Europe. In 1757, the Hungarian Hussar general András Hadik (Zsolt Trill) is tasked by Austrian Empress Maria Theresa with undertaking a daring raid on the Prussian capital Berlin. With his trusty cavalry in tow, Hadik sets about engineering one of the most infamous assaults in military history – all while avoiding the vengeance of his German nemesis General Van Bock. Bursting with battle scenes, period detail, and plenty of derring do, this is a perfect slice of seasonal entertainment in the best transitions of the sweeping historical epic.
