    The picture of cleanliness is indifferent and quiet, and the long shot of this film he made in his 30s that seems to be about love has been said to be bad. However, the switching between shots and the depth of field are all done by panning, even the convoluted space is connected to each other like the rhymes of poetry. The fixed mirror also pays great attention to the composition, and the scene of entering and exiting the stairs is well cut into a photographic work. Vali Kerekes' song reminds...

    After watching Bellatar's "Satan Tango" for 7 and a half hours all night, the aftertaste didn't disappear. A man who seems to have his own unique values, has nothing to do, does not pursue success and material wealth, acts against society, and only pursues his own love and desires as he pleases. Even if the object of love is a married woman. also tangled together. Isn't this kind of maverick view of life in pursuit of freedom exactly what I yearn for? However, the reality test came. The lover...

    Tarr is worthy of the unique style of mirror language master. The noise interference that sometimes strays outside the painting, the visual barrier that frequently blocks the line of sight, and there is no drifting focus of the protagonist. After the camera moves gracefully in depth or laterally, the seemingly soothing movement inadvertently breaks the limitations of time and space, and the transition between the speed and the slowness of the movement is truly wonderful. The helpless rain...

    Beratar's work is a vivid film lesson, often accompanied by eye-catching visuals. I really liked the female singer's low-pitched singing at the beginning of the film, and the happy group dance in the tavern at the end of the film reminded me of a certain Tarkovsky's work, which also has such a tavern atmosphere, which is very...

    Tarr's mid-term works are still repressive long shots, full of philosophical and world-weary lines, and the dance steps in the sewage at the end are...

Damnation quotes

  • Karrer: When you looked at me yesterday. I realized something. I realized that, between you and a world forever out of reach, there is a strange and empty tunnel. I don't know anyone else who knows that road. You're standing alone at the entrance to the tunnel because you know something I can't even put a name on, something deeper and more ruthless than I can ever understand. I realize that I can never get closer to that world. I can only long for it, because it is hidden by a light and warmth that I cannot bear. I have been able neither to believe in it nor to renounce it. Yesterday I realized I had made a fatal mistake. If I were to lose you, it would be the unforgivable end of me. Because I know nothing about that unnameable world. Since you are part of it, you mean the world to me. That can never change. Please don't repudiate me. Let me see you and I'll do anything for you. Kick me, spit at me and I'll return again and again for you to kick and spit at. Because you are right, you are ruthlessly right. And I really do love you.

  • The Singer: [singing] Take it or leave it, this is what you're stuck with. You lose your words, yet you cannot go.
