“Unique, mesmeric, and sublime.”
—The Guardian
“Tarr’s precise yet effortless command of the long take is so transcendent as to suggest the presence of God. Every stoppage point within each shot becomes a heavenly composite of the film’s collective whole.”
—Slant
Chaos and unrest simmer when a mysterious traveling circus descends upon a desolate Hungarian town. Comprised of just 39 atmospheric black-and-white shots, Béla Tarr (SÁTÁNTANGÓ) crafts a hypnotic parable of social collapse, complete with a freakishly large stuffed whale and nightmarish dread. Free Member Monday — free admission for all AFS members on Monday, April 13.
