1994 | dir. Béla Tarr | 439 min
After an unexpected financial windfall, the members of a rugged agricultural collective leave their village and set out across a barren and unforgiving landscape in the hopes of a better life. As some of the villagers secretly conspire to take off with all the money, a mysterious and messianic character, long thought dead, returns and alters the course of everyone’s lives. One of the greatest achievements in late twentieth century art house cinema and a seminal work of “slow cinema,” Sátántangó has been restored in 4K from the original 35mm camera negative.
