Sátántangó
Béla Tarr / HU, DE, CH, 1994 / 439 min.
This symphony in black and white is a triumph of visual storytelling. Béla Tarr’s 7,5 hour magnum opus follows the inhabitants of a Hungarian village after the fall of Communism. Alcohol, more alcohol and the rumour that the dead have risen seize the minds of the villagers.
At Béla Tarr’s own request, the intermissions are short so that the viewers are taken out of the film as little as possible. There is a 20-minute break after 137 minutes. The second part is 125 minutes long, followed by a 30-minute break. The final part then lasts 177 minutes.
