Sátántangó

Béla Tarr's Sátántangó, accent marks and all, is playing tomorrow at MoMA in all its 7 1/2-hour, black-and-white, 35mm, long-take, dark, moody, rainy, overlapping-time-structure, whisky-soaked, accordion-accompanied glory. UPDATE: The film looked beautiful, but the sound was distractingly wobbly throughout, and Tarr did not appear to introduce the film as promised. Nevertheless, it was an opportunity for me to finally see this epic masterpiece in its entirety in a single day.
