Sátántangó

Bela Tarr directs this epic drama following life in a small post-communist Hungarian village where nothing ever happens and nobody wants to be there. Adapted from the novel by Laszlo Krasznahorkai, the saga is presented through chapters looking at life from the viewpoint of each of the villagers, all of whom want to leave as soon as they receive a much-anticipated cash payment following the collapse of their plans for a collective farm.
