Béla Tarr’s massive, seven+ hour masterpiece immerses viewers in a novelistic tableau of life in a small Hungarian town as communism falls. Tarr’s astonishing visual compositions add a level of transcendence to the film, now restored from its original elements.

Note: this screening will have two intermissions, in accordance with the wishes of Béla Tarr, one of 15 minutes and the second of 25 minutes.
