00:
01:50,100 -- 00:01:51,700
Colonel Redl s story...
3
00:
01:51,700 -- 00:01:54,100
is not based on
authentic documents.
4
00:
01:54,100 -- 00:01:56,500
Actions of the characters
are entirely fabricated.
5
00:
01:56,500 -- 00:02:00,200
This film was inspired
by John Osborne s play
A Patriot for Me ...
7
00:
02:00,200 -- 00:02:02,400
and by historical events
of our century.
8
00:
03:14,000 -- 00:03:17,900
Your grandfather was friend
of his majesty, The Emperor.
9
00:
03:17,900 -- 00:03:20,100
The Emperor once
asked him...
10
00:
03:20,100 -- 00:03:22,900
Well, my friend,
what s new?
11
00:
03:23,800 -- 00:03:27,600
Like the dew
from heaven sent...
12
00:
03:27,600 -- 00:03:30,500
May on him
be blessings spent.
13
00:
03:30,500 -- 00:03:33,700
May they give the strength
for all of his deeds.
14
00:
03:33,700 -- 00:03:36,000
In all lands
may he glory earn...
15
00:
03:36,000 -- 00:03:38,800
our welfare
is his one concern.
16
00:
03:38,800 -- 00:03:40,900
Woe to those
who dare reject...
17
00:
03:40,900 -- 00:03:43,300
his hand of peace,
so circumspect.
18
00:
03:43,300 -- 00:03:46,800
His holy wrath
shall strike them now...
19
00:
03:46,800 -- 00:03:49,900
with laurels
to adorn his brow.
20
00:
03:49,900 -- 00:03:53,300
Very nice, young Redl.
Sit down.
21
00:
03:53,300 -- 00:03:56,900
Maybe you ll become a great
poet of our motherland.
22
00:
03:56,900 -- 00:03:59,400
l haven t heard
such a glorious poem...
23
00:
03:59,400 -- 00:04:02,500
about His Majesty
for a long time.
24
00:
04:02,500 -- 00:04:05,900
Sir, this is the boy,
Alfred Redl.
25
00:
04:05,900 -- 00:04:08,700
l humbly ask
for your support...
26
00:
04:08,700 -- 00:04:11,100
to help him enter...
27
00:
04:11,100 -- 00:04:14,000
the Imperial and Royal
Cadet School.
28
00:
04:14,000 -- 00:04:16,600
Always remember to keep
a straight posture.
29
00:
04:18,100 -- 00:04:20,800
We will be
so proud of you.
30
00:
04:20,800 -- 00:04:23,300
And we shall never forget
what the Emperor...
31
00:
04:23,300 -- 00:04:25,200
has done for us.
32
00:
04:27,000 -- 00:04:28,700
How wonderful
it would be...
33
00:
04:28,700 -- 00:04:31,700
if you would return
as an officer.
34
00:
04:31,100 -- 00:04:33,200
What an honour.
35
00:
04:35,700 -- 00:04:39,200
Your grandpa was just
a poor peasant.
36
00:
04:39,200 -- 00:04:41,800
And you suddenly
get this honour.
37
00:
04:42,600 -- 00:04:45,900
Never forget that the Emperor
made this possible.
38
00:
04:45,900 -- 00:04:47,600
Always be grateful.
39
00:
04:47,600 -- 00:04:52,400
Up, down, up, down,
up, down...
40
00:
04:59,300 -- 00:05:04,400
Hands behind your head!
Jump in place!
41
00:
05:33,500 -- 00:05:35,700
Up and in position.
42
00:
05:40,900 -- 00:05:44,200
Get ready!
Attack, defence, go!
43
00:
05:58,100 -- 00:05:59,800
Redl, Kubinyi! Be careful.
44
00:
05:59,800 -- 00:06:02,100
You ll get a beating
if you break your weapons.
45
00:
06:02,100 -- 00:06:04,600
Third grade,
stop the drill!
46
00:
06:04,600 -- 00:06:07,000
Line up in two ranks
for punishment!
47
00:
06:07,000 -- 00:06:09,300
Redl, Kubinyi, shirts off!
48
00:
06:57,400 -- 00:06:59,900
See Redl, it s snowing.
49
00:
07:09,500 -- 00:07:12,400
Christoph Kubinyi
reporting to his grandma...
50
00:
07:12,400 -- 00:07:14,700
would like to introduce
a friend.
51
00:
07:42,100 -- 00:07:44,800
Harry! Come here, Harry!
52
00:
07:45,900 -- 00:07:49,400
Don t worry, he just wants
to make friends. Good dog.
53
00:
07:49,400 -- 00:07:53,300
Sit down! Sit down!
54
00:
07:53,300 -- 00:07:56,200
Tell me Redl, our Monarch s
empire is so vast...
55
00:
07:56,200 -- 00:07:58,100
I ve a hard time telling...
56
00:
07:58,100 -- 00:08:02,500
which of the many people
of our Majesty you belong to.
57
00:
08:02,500 -- 00:08:05,300
- l was born in Galicia.
- Polish?
58
00:
08:05,300 -- 00:08:11,100
No, my father is Ukrainian,
partly of German descent.
59
00:
08:11,100 -- 00:08:17,200
l believe my mother s
grandfather was Hungarian.
60
00:
08:17,200 -- 00:08:19,500
Yes, they were Hungarians.
61
00:
08:19,500 -- 00:08:22,900
The family was noble
but lost everything.
62
00:
08:22,900 -- 00:08:26,400
Their entire estate.
63
00:
08:26,400 -- 00:08:30,300
But later His Majesty
helped them...
64
00:
08:30,300 -- 00:08:33,800
and gave them a position
in the Civil Service.
65
00:
08:34,500 -- 00:08:36,000
Fine.
66
00:
08:36,900 -- 00:08:40,500
Then you certainly have
Hungarian blood in you.
67
00:
08:40,500 -- 00:08:43,500
Yes, my mother would always
sing a Hungarian song.
68
00:
08:43,500 -- 00:08:46,100
A Csitari Hegyek Alatti.
69
00:
09:11,500 -- 00:09:13,100
He is very nice!
70
00:
09:13,100 -- 00:09:15,000
He doesn t speak
French, grandma.
71
00:
09:15,000 -- 00:09:16,800
He has to learn it,
sweetie.
72
00:
09:16,800 -- 00:09:21,100
It s as important
as horseback riding.
73
00:
09:21,100 -- 00:09:24,300
But horses are the most
important, aren t they?
74
00:
09:24,300 -- 00:09:27,100
He is charming,
your little friend.
75
00:
10:04,600 -- 00:10:07,800
Come on up, Christoph,
it s a good view.
76
00:
10:07,800 -- 00:10:10,600
Yes, but do l have to
climb the tree for that?
77
00:
10:12,700 -- 00:10:15,100
You smell good, soldier,
like a foal.
78
00:
10:15,100 -- 00:10:17,700
Are you ticklish?
Let s see.
79
00:
10:17,700 -- 00:10:22,500
One, two, three, four...
80
00:
10:22,500 -- 00:10:26,400
five, six, seven...
81
00:
10:26,400 -- 00:10:30,900
eight, nine, ten, eleven.
82
00:
12:01,700 -- 00:12:03,300
Could you please help me?
83
00:
12:46,400 -- 00:12:47,900
Katalin!
84
00:
13:32,100 -- 00:13:34,900
What can we expect
from civilians...
85
00:
13:34,900 -- 00:13:37,800
if soldiers act like
animals? Is this a zoo?
86
00:
13:45,000 -- 00:13:46,700
Class raise!
87
00:
13:50,200 -- 00:13:53,100
- Are you the orderly?
- Yes, sir.
88
00:
13:53,100 -- 00:13:55,800
Who was it? File a report,
l want names.
89
00:
13:55,800 -- 00:13:58,800
I m sorry, Colonel,
l don t know who it was.
90
00:
13:58,800 -- 00:14:02,100
But l do, Cadet Redl.
91
00:
14:02,100 -- 00:14:04,500

Christoph von Kubinyi.
92
00:
14:04,500 -- 00:14:09,000
Sir, I m sure
it wasn t him.
93
00:
14:09,000 -- 00:14:13,300
- Who then?
- l don t now, l was singing.
94
00:
14:14,100 -- 00:14:18,000
Redl, report. Are they
the usual gentlemen?
95
00:
14:18,000 -- 00:14:21,700
Von Freyberg, Galliena,
von Gencsy, von Kubinyi?
96
00:
14:23,700 -- 00:14:25,500
No, it wasn t
Kubinyi, sir.
97
00:
14:25,500 -- 00:14:28,600
Who then? Redl,
I m losing my patience.
98
00:
14:30,800 -- 00:14:33,000
Then l am forced to expel
all four of then...

led by Baron Kubinyi...
100

outrageous incident.

István Szabó

István Szabó (Hungarian: [ˈsɒboː ˈiʃtvaːn]; born February 18, 1938) is a Hungarian film director, screenwriter, and opera director. Szabó is the most internationally famous Hungarian filmmaker since the late 1960s. Working in the tradition of European auteurism, he has made films that represent many of the political and psychological conflicts of Central Europe’s recent history, as well as of his own personal history. He made his first short film in 1959 as a student at the Hungarian Academy of Theatrical and Cinematic Arts, and his first feature film in 1964. He achieved his greatest international success with Mephisto (1981), which won the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film. Since then, most of Szabó's films have been international co-productions filmed in a variety of languages and European locations. He has continued to make some films in Hungarian, however, and even in his international co-productions, he often films in Hungary and uses Hungarian talent. Szabó became involved in a national controversy in 2006 when the Hungarian newspaper Life and Literature revealed that he had been an informant of the Communist regime’s secret police. more…
