Had to replace the earlier comment.-- I HIGHLY suggest to you an Anime series called "Girls Last Tour" for something that will stay with you. It is about two teen-aged girls navigating a Post-Apocalyptic setting where the dreadful truth of it all, while subtle, is so monstrous that any hero we are familiar with would have lost their minds very quickly... but not these two little heroins. They were born into a world with no hope, but they face it with the kind of simple grace & dignity that makes you glad.... glad that these two were the final representation of Humanity. You'll see.

I'm Hungarian. There was a screening of Sátántangó in Budapest and a friend of mine got excited and told all his friends to come and see it together if anybody wants to. I didn't go, and i hate myself for it ever since, because as they sat down (it was a small theatre, 50 seats max) right before the movie started in walks Béla Tarr, says how grateful he is that people came to watch his movie, said a couple of words about the movie, and "enjoy!" He left the room, and the movie started. :)

I remember watching the The Turin Horse one night and just being completely and utterly entranced by it. The one shot scenes of the daughter walking some 5 minutes through the valley to get water from the well each morning, the sequences of them eating their daily ration of one potato in complete silence, the musical cadence that plays throughout the entirety of the film just becomes hypnotizing. Stunning direction and cinematography, you’re just watching characters react to their surroundings without the need for almost any words or dialogue. It’s certainly a film you’ll likely never see replicated.

Loneliness is a longing for a connection not only to ourselves but to the world around us , especially in our times of need. It is as if we’re walking the world aimlessly in total darkness without a light in sight. Hoping that someone will find us , hold our hand , bring us home and wrap us in a warm blanket of togetherness . We want a safe space for our vulnerabilities, a place where we can take our shoes off and not worry if we muddy the rug. A hug that reaches to the depths of our inner child and brings fourth a glimmer of hope that everything will be ok and to know that someone will walk beside us as we journey into the sun until we are ready for them to become a shadow behind us ….

Well done 👏 As a native Hungarian, I have to say that these films capture not only the essence of "Hungarian-ness," but also "human-ness" at their core.

One other thing to consider is just how incredibly cinematic Tarr's films are. His cinematic approach to film making highlights his humanistic philosophy in that all human beings deserve dignity. Tarr gives each of the characters in his film the chance to inhabit a beautiful work of art, as if to say "Yes, this person might be "ugly", but life, no matter how bleak, is still worthy of dignity and is beautiful in its own way". And then just to drive the point home, he allows the audience to spend so much time with each of these characters because he not only wants us to see their worth and their dignity despite the grime and sadness, but also to LIVE and FEEL their worth and value as human beings. He doesn't let us just take a quick look at his characters, he demands we live with them and in the process come to empathize with them.

I think the long cuts serve a very practical purpose. Processing emotions is like pouring water on the soil. You can only do so much actively, but in the end, you have to give it time to soak in. All these cuts are very monotone and you can analyze the scene all you want, you run out of it and the cut still goes on, and your brain switches to idle mode. That's exactly when the subconscious processing begins. So he doesn't let them wash away at surface level, doesn't relieve you, he patiently makes you wait until it's all soaked into your very core. If you let that happen, they will haunt/awe you for many years.

@sky44david Год назад

This consideration of Bela Tarr exists within the context of the Hungary that Bela Tarr grew up in: The transition from Soviet domination & control of communal farms and the "cap" the Soviets kept by keeping ethnic tensions below the surface by a police force that all suddenly evaporated at the collapse of Soviet rule and was followed by chaotic mismanagement and random acts of petty ethnic violence. The experience of sitting in a theater and viewing a Tarr film on a big screen (as he intended) is rare, it only happens at a University Art Museum context doing a Tarr retrospective. The beauty and cinematic skill of black and white cinema and its dynamics of extremely intentional moving tracking shots that follow person(s) through spaces and landscapes & the faces of non trained actors who are all Tarr's friends that express the real beauty and dignity of the people of Hungary who get "pegged" as what the artist Kathe Kollwitz called "the down-trodden" appear in Tarr's expertise of filmmaking expressing human dignity more immediate and raw than any other appearance in the history of cinema. The "Turin Horse" is set in Northern Hungary in the late 1890's when the entire region was devastated by extreme drought that lasted over 5 years. It was an area of Eastern Europe without theinfrastructure of water and power. Well water was how the people survived, and when that dried up we get to experience that via Tarr's cinematic vision. You got it right when focusing on Tarr's intentional expression of "human dignity".

@@jukee67 Well said. And another part of this tragic circumstance is the chronic impatience and forgetfulness that is exponentially growing in the United States and Americanized modern society. As a person from Ireland with a strong connection to the deep dark part of my soul, I am extremely familiar with the work of the Irish playwright Samuel Beckett. I have watched his play Waiting for Godot at least 10 times. Yet probably less than one in 100,000 Americans have probably heard of him, let alone seen his works. I would say the same regarding the works of Ingmar Bergman and Akira Kurosawa. Here is an odd truth: there are more than 2.5 million ants to every human being on planet Earth. Humanity's egoic, hubris ridden sense of importance ironically denigrates the strange, suffering wonder of being human, as well as the rich complexity of the biodiverse Earth of which we are a part. If we could accept that our being conscious, SENTIENT beings AUTOMATICALLY involves SUFFERING, we might go a long way to adjusting to the existential reality of being on planet earth. Unfortunately, I am one that does not see this version of human society lasting more than another 100 years or so. It is simply not sustainable.

Another masterful video essay. Watching the timelapse footage of Tom watching Satantango reminded me of my own home viewing of the nearly 3½ hour _Jeanne Dielman, 23, quai du commerce, 1080 Bruxelles_ some years back. I was somewhat proud of myself that I watched it straight through, without so much as a bathroom break. Of course, at less than half the length of Satantango, it was maybe not so heroic a feat. One of these days, perhaps, I'll get around to watching Tarr's epic...

The first film from Bela Tara I saw was Werckmeister Harmonies. I'm about an hour into Satantango (I like your idea of watching it all in one sitting). I honestly don't remember many of the details from the story of Werckmeister Harmonies, only how it made me feel. And to me what comes across is how, as humans, we always try so hard to survive-no matter how bleak and desperate things are. Even knowing that things are likely going to get worse and feel more bleak-we can't help but push forward... we do what we must to survive the next moment, and the next as best we can.

It's worth reading the Krasznahorkai novels behind two of the three Tarr films you mention; they require a disciplined attention but are not as demanding as one might be led to expect from the films. Krasznahorkai's life-philosophy is not Tarr's, but the bleak luminosity of Tarr's films resonates with the apocalyptic style of the source-material. Also, the Werckmeister Harmonies soundtrack (especially "Old") is well worth a listen on its own.

Thank you for this beautiful work and also for putting into words my feelings about Tarr's films I never was able to express. I watched all the films in the comfort of my living room, as you did. There's heaviness and poetry and I, many times, ended the films crying (as in Turin's Horse). My question, and perhaps a project, though it would be difficult to materialise, is how these marvellous films 'feel' in a big screen. Satantango is my favourite, and its duration and the rituals of watching it, as you so well observed, have a weight to the final physical and intellectual 'witnessing' of it. I wonder how it would be to get out of the house, walk to the cinema and spend more than seven hours ... 💘

I think that Tarr tried through feature and shot length to allow the movie to impose its own temporality upon the viewer in a much more invasive way than usual. I see it as a deliberate effort to bring about a spatial reconstruction in the viewer's mind. Thereby drawing one into the distances and times associated to his movie's landscapes. One consequence of this is a detachment from the expectations tied to narrative structure and the rules of storytelling as the viewer is much more closely bound to the same temporality as the characters and objects on screen, which I feel drives to a greater focus on the setting. If, as Tarkovsky puts it, a director is "sculpting in time" then him and Tarr through it definitely created a distinct space in our minds. A "moviescape" around which the viewer's entire temporality must revolve, as you showed in your montage. Anyway, another great and challenging essay. Thank you.

I feel like you will have a story for Andor. The 12th episode and funeral march... and what led toward that. What I've heard is that Andor, as a series, started as the idea of the funeral march... was written out from there. In the meantime, I love your stories and videos.

A very informative viewpoint.

As much as I loath the corporate centralization of information and the for profit algorithmic approach to the internet I still find things that are worth wild that prevent me from disregarding these platforms regardless of how i feel about them in an ideological sense. Great Video.

I watched this movie 2 years ago I just did not anticipate the effect on me. I liked it but it is not like I was really entertained. I still remember it and what I felt during the film vividly. A gutteral awe.

3:00 Not once in my entire life I have ever felt "accomplished" by watching a movie I didn't enjoy to the end and I can't say I understand this mindset. Whenever I watch a movie I didn't like till the end all I feel is that I wasted my time and the longer the film was, the more I regret watching it. Can't imagine sitting through almost a full day of work of a movie I didn't enjoy and feeling "accomplished".

I've only watched the wonderful "Turin Horse" and two hours of "Satantango", ten years ago. Mu strongest impression was I was less watching a film, than living inside it, sharing the lives of those people. In the art of filmmaking I know of no one who compares to Bela Tarr. We can trace him some precursorr, like Bresson, Bergman or Tarkovsky, but Tarr is not reducible to any of them, he is truly an original.

For some time now i've played with an idea for a book. A book that would be long and hard to read through. But the person that would pick it up would perhaps, at some point, feel my struggles of writing it and join me on that path. Thank you for this video :)
