Satantango
Aroview: Daunting, one-of-a-kind event from Hungarian maestro Bela Tarr delves into seven formidable hours of East European malaise, where startling monochrome imagery and a haunting sense of stasis (imitated most notably by Gus Van Sant) gives rise to a unique cinematic sublime.
A singular viewing experience focused on a group of disparate individuals in a remote farming community, this might be described as languid, imposing, paralysing, and all (or none) of the above. Sandwiched by DAMNATION and WERCKMEISTER HARMONIES in a loose trilogy.

5 stars (Exceptional) Requiring a fair commitment in terms of time and concentration, Satantango is an acquired taste. It is also one of the great masterpieces in world cinema. ~Rose M. Bourgh
