In "Satanic Tango" There is Tension between Films
Rancière proposes that there is a tension between film and literature in Satanic Tango: "Bella Tarr constructs a visual scene that will survive a situation from a looping narrative (which tends to pull these scenarios together) with great power." But at the same time, this visual scene also breaks the narrative cycle because it translates the potency of these scenarios into many straight lines, pursuing shadowy, positive lines of escape. This straight, circular...

The sky is broken, the village is like a dream, the wind is howling, and the corpses are lying on the ground. On the abandoned land, people play the era of extinction with their steps, and the night clock keeps roaring.
Bellatar is immersed in the pinnacle of mirror movement skills. The unconventional twelve acts and nearly forty long takes advertise an ode to death that transcends the times. The top scheduling and flexible camera movements beautifully show objectivity. The polysemy...

Seven and a half hours, drowsy on the subway. The slow-moving shots, the figures' backs disappearing into the horizon, the flying white lace curtains, and the dignified close-ups of the faces, each shot makes people breathless. The deliberately weakened narrative, behind the condensed Hungarian history, and the loss of the individual in the collective event.
Like the magical realism of a century of loneliness, the spirit and soul of people here are empty, and life is boring... -

"Satanic Tango": A Quartet of the Resurrection of the Undead
The film is seven hours long, but every minute is thunderous and fascinating. I wish I could read it again every year as long as I live.
- Susan Sontag
This film, praised by Susan Sontag, is the representative work of Hungarian writer Krasno Holkaj - "Satan Tango". In the original novel, the author's wonderful text structure and language style are unique, and all the protagonists in the dilapidated small village have no way out of their lives, and...

Watching "Satan's Tango" is physical labor. In Bella Tarr's world, images are "time's work", which is the exact opposite of Tarkovsky's "sculpting time". The latter uses the impressions scattered in time and memory as materials, and arranges them according to their own expressions and metaphors. The former, on the other hand, strives to interfere as little as possible with the natural process of time and action. The set up stands are like "gazing eyes", watching a group of cows walk by...

Like a chaotic and desolate nightmare, the novels are reproduced in chapters with images, which are linked together. Light, sound, and mirror movement are all excellent. All kinds of stillness and movement, all kinds of scenes, show the beauty of long shots. The mirror language flows as quietly as time, and it is exquisite to the extreme. Anxious eyes watched in the distance. The voice-over came in bursts, the line of sight was always blocked, and the truth was always outside the frame. Satan...

I'm sorry for not giving five stars for so long. . = = They? They are slaves, and they are slaves all their lives. They know nothing but eat potatoes. Suspiciously guessing at each other, hiccupping in silence because they thought they were being lied to. Slaves have no masters, but they cannot be without pride, self-respect, and courage. They don't have any in their bones. They only like to live in their shadows, and they follow the shadows like sheep....

Narrator: Then he was lying on the bed, trying to get the nightgown off his wife. But she started to yell, he jumped after her, the nightgown was torn. She turned towards him and laughed, and the nipples on her enormous breasts were like two beautiful roses.
