The Austro-Hungarian heir to the throne, Crown Prince Rudolf, leads a dissolute and frivolous life in a remote, sunny villa. He loves the bourgeois Sofia, lounges naked in the garden, and rolls around in haystacks with the older servant Therese. Surrounded by a bizarre entourage, he mocks his father's puritanism with his unrestrained lifestyle. His stepsister Sofie and a young count arrive at the castle. The arrival of the permissive and playful couple provides an opportunity to invent new erotic and provocative games. Rudolf invites the daughters and sons of the most influential families in the empire to a lavish party at the villa.
“The Great Orgy” is Miklós Jancsó's ode to sensual delight, drenched in magnificent colors and warm tones, and evoked with a fresh spontaneity rarely seen in cinema. Experience this masterpiece, lavishly restored with extensive extras and over 16 minutes longer than the old German theatrical version.
