We are marking the winter solstice today by watching Béla Tarr's magnificent seven-hour long film, Sátántangó, one the greatest works of modern cinema. This will be my third time watching it. Susan Sontag described Sátántangó as "devastating, enthralling for every minute of its seven hours," adding she would be "glad to see it every year for the rest of [her] life."
Off tonight to introduce Károly Makk's wonderful film at the local embassy, Love (Szerelem), one of the great film of Hungarian cinema. Set in mid-1950s Hungary, it's about love in the time of politics and how it ultimately triumphs. A wonderful example of how Hungarian film makers had to steer their creativity through layers of censorship. It won the Jury Prize at Cannes. If you get a chance to watch it sometime, do so.
Monor, 1971. Anyone who follows Hungarian cinema will instantly recognise the impulse behind this photo. One of the greatest ever Hungarian films ever was called Merry-Go-Round, or Körhinta, and features a shot like this. It is one of the most iconic images of 20th century cinema. The sense of freedom, of flying is palpable.

@watchmovies Excellent news. I am glad to see his films get the respect they deserve with such a restoration. Will definitely be buying this.
