Synopsis

Hungarian auteur Bela Tarr's 7-hour, black-and-white epic based on the novel by Laszlo Karsznahorkai took two years to film. The complex story follows a group of people living in a dilapidated village in post-communist Hungary. Tarr examines their standstill lives through a series of episodes told from each person''s point-of-view. Susan Sontag said, "Devastating, enthralling for every minute of its seven hours. I''d be glad to see it every year for the rest of my life." Winner of the Caligari Film Prize and the Ecumenical Jury Prize Special Mention at the 1994 Berlin International Film Festival. In Hungarian with optional English subtitles. Bela Tarr---Hungary---1994---435 mins.

Excrusiatlingly slow, like watching paint dry. Makes Carl Dreyer look like Speedy Gonzalez . Hard to tell what it's all about except that life in the Hungarian boondocks is dull. Waste of time.
