Bela Tarr's daunting films were unavailable in the UK for years until the 80s and 90s, showcasing long takes and themes from Laszlo Krasznahorkai's novels, co-directed by his wife Agnes Hranitzky.
Tarr's films, like 'Damnation' and 'Werckmeister Harmonies,' portray gloomy characters in stark landscapes, often engaging in despair and unease, akin to anguished Samuel Beckett characters.
The film 'Satantango' stands out at seven hours and 19 minutes, depicting a village falling under the spell of a resurrected cult figure, showcasing Tarr's unique approach to central European gothic horror.
