Bela Tarr's seven hour rambling film about the people in a collective in Hungary around the fall of communism.
Its good but seeing this in what was a largely single marathon sitting was trying.
It's got some wonderful segments and is good over all, but it's a long slog thanks to Tarr's style of long takes and shooting things like the table while action happens off screen. It's a good film and I intend on watching it again down the road, but I don't think I'll be able to sit for the 7 plus hours it took to watch this in one sitting the first time. I'll break it up by sections.
Yes I know the length of the film should not come in to play,a good film is a good film, but at the same time this is a slow seven hours.
Worth seeing but in bits and pieces
