Synopsis

Forest of the Hanged is a 1965 Romanian drama film directed by Liviu Ciulei. It is based on the eponymous novel by Liviu Rebreanu. However, it deviates significantly from the original work, as it was produced under the supervision of the Romanian Workers Party. Forest of the Hanged became the first Romanian film to achieve wide international recognition. Ciulei, who also plays the role of Captain Otto Klapka, won the award for Best Director at the 1965 Cannes Film Festival.
