- Bela Tarr filmography
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.
Winner of the Caligari Film Prize and the Ecumenical Jury Prize Special Mention at the 1994 Berlin International Film Festival.

Completely different to anything I have ever seen before, Bela Tarr's Satantango will forever live long in my memory. After watching it I wasnt sure if I really liked it, and I am still not sure to be honest. It's a film that ironically at 7 hours long, I think needs to be seen a second time to truly appreciate its art. And for a film that is 7 hours long, I wasn't bored at all. There are some great moments in the film especially where music is involved to give a great atmosphere to accompany the beautiful black & white cinematography. I recommend everyone who has an interest in arthouse cinema to at least try to watch it.
