Bar Titanik regular Karrer (Sátántangó’s Miklós B. Székely) pines endlessly for cruel and bewitching cabaret singer (Vali Kerekes), but when his schemes to displace her brutish husband (György Cserhalmi) fail, things quickly spiral out of control. A mid-career masterwork by legendary Hungarian art house auteur Béla Tarr, Damnation has been restored in 4K from the original 35mm camera negative.
