Sátántangó is screening in tribute to Bela Tarr, who sadly passed away this month.

Bela Tarr’s epic rendering of László Krasznahorkai's novel, about the decline of Communism in Eastern Europe, is a unique and visionary masterpiece that defies classification and transcends genre.

Set in a struggling Hungarian agricultural collective, a group of lost souls reeling from the collapse of their Communist utopia face an uncertain future, until the arrival of a charismatic stranger in whom they believe lies their salvation. The collective’s individual experiences and fates are gradually revealed in Tarr’s immaculately composed, brilliantly photographed and bleakly comic tour-de-force, which confirmed his place as one of contemporary cinema’s few genuine auteurs.

Content note: contains scenes of unsimulated animal cruelty and death.

Please note, there will be two 10 minute intermissions.
