Flying into Budapest in the course of an 18-day, ten-nation swing through Asia, the Middle East and Eastern Europe, U.S. Secretary of State William Rogers prepared for a meeting with Hungarian Party Boss Janos Kadar that briefers advised him would be courteous but cool. Instead, Rogers found that the Hungarians had literally and figuratively rolled out a red carpet for him. In a 75-minute session (it was scheduled for only a half-hour), Rogers and Kadar explored the prospects of increased trade and technological support for a Communist country whose relations with the U.S. since.

...Kadar owes many thanks to his cast, especially to his principal trio, for establishing a delicate imbalance of mood and then duplicating that same mood a year later.

The symphonic soundtrack is occasionally over-dramatic, but mostly, it serves to reinforce Kadar's carefully composed ambiguities...

Kadar has moved beyond a smoothly delineated story to create a disturbing aura of the off-balance and indefinite. The moral wrong against the Jews depicted in the older film may be more immediately dramatic, but the morally taboo of Adrift is ultimately more interesting. Kadar resolves none of the dilemmas that his movie raises; he merely suggests the universality and complexity...
