SÁTÁNTANGÓ

AFI Silver Theatre and Cultural Center
Thursday, June 18, 2026•11:00 AM
Béla Tarr’s 1994 masterpiece immerses viewers in the darkest, dankest, grimmest and most godforsaken of worlds — a derelict Hungarian village, its inhabitants adrift after the fall of Communism and the dissolution of their farming collective. The film is truly uncompromising in its cinematic vision: black-and-white cinematography, long takes and slowly paced (indeed, the film is a foundational text for what came to be called “slow cinema”) but sharply realized scenes sprawling across an epic seven-plus hours of screen time.
