BNIB PO Import USA SÁTÁNTANGÓ - New 25th anniversary 4K restoration of Béla Tarr #39;s masterpiece. #36 on the Sight amp; Sound / British Film Institute #39;s Critic #39;s Poll of the 100 Greatest Films Ever Made. One of the greatest achievements in recent art house cinema and a seminal work of #34;slow cinema, #34; SÁTÁNTANGÓ, based on the novel by László Krasznahorkai, follows the members of a humble agricultural community living in a bleak and punishing backwater after the fall of Communism. As a few of the villagers secretly conspire to take off with all of the community #39;s annual earnings for themselves, a mysterious messiah, long thought dead, returns to the village and alters the course of everyone #39;s lives forever. Shot in stunning black-and-white by Gábor Medvigy and filled with exquisitely composed long takes, SÁTÁNTANGÓ unfolds in twelve distinct movements, alternating forwards and backwards in time, echoing the structure of a tango dance. Béla Tarr #39;s vision, aided by long-time partner and collaborator Ágnes Hranitzky, is enthralling and his portrayal of rural Hungary beset by drunken revelry, treachery, and near-perpetual rainfall is both transfixing and uncompromising. SÁTÁNTANGÓ has been justly lauded by critics and audiences as a masterpiece and has been restored on occasion of its 25th anniversary. Specs: High Definition 1080p 1.66:1. DTS-HD Master Audio 1.0.
