ABOUT THE EVENT:

Ahead of this year’s ‘Bleak Week,’ the American Cinematheque presents a special screening of SÁTÁNTANGÓ, Béla Tarr’s monumental seven-hour masterpiece, widely considered one of the greatest films ever made.

We were honored to welcome Béla Tarr for the second year of ‘Bleak Week,’ and are proud to honor his legacy with a return to one of the defining works of his extraordinary career ahead of this year’s festival.

ABOUT THE FILM:

In Hungarian with English subtitles.

One of the greatest achievements in art house cinema and a seminal work of “slow cinema,” SÁTÁNTANGÓ, based on the book by László Krasznahorkai, follows members of a defunct agricultural collective living in a seemingly post-apocalyptic landscape in the long shadow of Communism who, on the heels of a large financial windfall, set out to leave their village. As a few of the villagers secretly conspire to take off with all of the earnings for themselves, a mysterious messianic character, long thought dead, returns to the village, altering the course of everyone’s lives forever.
