Sátántangó is a 1994 Hungarian film directed by Béla Tarr, adapted from a novel by László Krasznahorkai.The film observes the lives of the inhabitants on a failing collective farm. Irimiás (Mihály Víg, who also composed the film's score), a member of the collective who was thought to be dead, returns and manipulates them for his own gain.The film is famous for its very long takes, bleak mood, and 7-hour running length. In the 2012 Sight & Sound critic's poll of the greatest films of all time, it placed 36th.

Crapsack World: This is definitely one of the most unsentimental films ever made.

Aborted Arc: The conspiracy in the opening scene to abscond with the collective farm's bankroll is abandoned when the villagers hear news of Irimiás's return.

Binocular Shot: A long unbroken shot (like all the others) has the doctor, in his living room, watching through his binoculars Futaki escape from the Schmidt residence.

comment
Working-Class People Are Morons: In a scene a little over an hour in, Irimiás goes on a rant to his sidekick Petrina about how the people of the collective farm are "a flock of sheep," dumb, passive, easily led.

comment
Cobweb of Disuse: Discussed Trope. The bar is so run-down and sad that there is a spider web on a glass and tipped-over bottle in the corner. The narrator then tells a story in which the spiders in the bar, brought out by the sound of the accordion guy playing, spin webs over all the furniture as well as the bodies and faces of the passed-out patrons.

Erotic Eating
 Sátántangó / int_714342fb
comment
Erotic Eating: One of the endless slow pans shows a man and a woman together eating—actually it's hard to tell what, probably a pastry of some sort. In any case they each have one end of the pastry in their mouth and are eating away as they look into each others' eyes. What's odd about this is that it takes places in the depressing village's depressing bar, where other villagers are passed out from drink.

Satanic Archetype: Irimiás is a symbolic false prophet. The villagers treat him as if he were supernatural and they believe that he will lead them to a better life, however his actions will indirectly lead to their ruin.

Dramatic Thunder
 Sátántangó / int_84764598
comment
Dramatic Thunder: A clap of thunder and lighting erupts over the soundtrack, a startling moment in a film that until that point has consisted mostly of people staring blankly into space at nothing. This is followed by Keremen showing up in the cafe and announcing that Irimiás and Petrina "are approaching the estate."

Anachronic Order
 Sátántangó / int_8b6e8d7
comment
Anachronic Order: The film is divided into 12 parts, some of which show a scene we have already seen from a different perspective. For example, the first part opens with Futaki looking out of Mrs. Schmidt's window, only to have to make a hurried exit when Mr. Schmidt comes home. The third part opens with the doctor, in his house across the street, watching this scene unfold through his binoculars.

Stealing from the Till: Schmidt and Kraner are plotting to run away with the money that the collective farm got from a sale of cattle. This plan is short-circuited when Irimiás returns.

Commie Land
 Sátántangó / int_a864d2d8
comment
Commie Land: A 1994 film (five years after the fall of Communism in Hungary and the rest of Eastern Europe) of a 1985 novel. Wherever the collective farm is, it is a profoundly depressing place. The streets are nothing but mud, except for the places where they're strewn with garbage. The people are dazed with apathy. The buildings are ugly, old, and dilapidated, cracked and crumbling.

Leave the Camera Running
 Sátántangó / int_b2af79fb
comment
Leave the Camera Running: One of the most extreme examples of this outside of one-take movies like Russian Ark. The film is composed of long shot after long shot after long shot. The average shot is 2 1/2 minutes long; one shot is a continuous take of over ten minutes. The very first shot, which shows a herd of cows slowly ambling through the town and nothing else, is eight minutes long.

comment
For Doom the Bell Tolls: The second scene has Futaki woken by the sound of ominous tolling bells. What makes this curious is, there's nothing to account for the sound of the bells, because the town doesn't have any. The mood is quite ominous.
