Satantango

"Devastating, enthralling for every minute of its seven hours. I'd be glad to see it every year for the rest of my life."--SUSAN SONTAG

Widely cited as one of the most important and remarkable films of the past few decades, Hungarian director Bela Tarr's masterpiece Satantango takes place in a run-down, postcommunist Hungarian village where a small group of "survivors" await the arrival of a Messiah. With its seven-hour running time and staggeringly beautiful long takes, Tarr's landmark work captures life's rhythms like no other film in cinema history. A screening of this film is a true event and a must-see for anyone interested in the possibilities of cinema as great art. (450 mins. + 2 intermissions, 35mm)

Refreshments will be available during the intermission.
