"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."[3] Allegro Barbaro is thus considered to be part II of the director's Hungarian Trilogy.[4][5]
