Hungarian Rhapsody (Hungarian: Magyar rapszódia) is a 1979 Hungarian drama film directed by Miklós Jancsó. It was entered into the 1979 Cannes Film Festival. It won Golden Peacock (Best Film) at the 7th International Film Festival of India.
The film depicts "a peasant revolt in Hungary in the early twentieth century." "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.", commented the Sydney Morning Herald at the death of the director.
