Sátántangó
1994
Synopsis
A defunct agricultural collective, living in a post-apocalyptic landscape after the fall of Communism, set out to leave their village. As a few members conspire to take off with all of the earnings, a mysterious character, long thought dead, returns and alters the course of everyone’s lives forever.
Editorial
This exquisite restoration of Hungarian maestro Béla Tarr’s magnum opus has been a long time coming. Shot in languorous, extended takes and riven with mordant humour, Sátántangó is a pungent, Beckettian epic of the human condition. Don’t let the running time put you off, this is essential cinema.
