Reviews for Satantango
1 - 15 (sorted by critic A-Z)
This startling, apocalyptic work is sometimes over-extended, but it builds to a powerful, rhythmic climax of breakdown and withdrawal.
02/09/06
In Sátántangó, life is beautiful and grotesque by turns, and never less than mesmerizing.
02/01/07
Top CriticAt seven hours, Bela Tarr's 1994 Satantango is one of those unusual works of contemporary art that demand from the audience a concentrated commitment -- the luxury of time.
05/20/03
Top CriticThose with a strong will for art house extremes will strike gold here, while those demanding speed and snap may doze throughout the endeavor.
07/27/08
Critics have rightfully hailed Tarr as one of filmdom's criminally undersung geniuses.
10/05/07
Top CriticJust as the film eschews typical filmic moralizing and simplification, it also casts off the typical language of film.
04/15/02
One of the great, largely unseeable movies of the last dozen years.
01/10/06
Top CriticA film to be endured, yes, but also a film to be treasured.
04/22/07
Its seven-hour runtime warns off dabblers, the one-screening-a-day bulk defies profit motive, and its protagonists -- Tarr's "poor, ugly, sad, and damned people" -- deny expectations of pleasure. It is also, at times, funny as hell.

Top CriticHow can I do justice to this grungy seven-hour black comedy (1994), which in many ways impressed me more than any other film of the 90s?
04/16/02
Top CriticA fascinating seven-hour epic black comedy in entropy (ponderous musings on misery and despair) by the internationally acclaimed Hungarian director Béla Tarr.
02/02/08
It is an insidious yet ambiguous political nature that characterizes Sátántangó as a Hungarian film, in turn perpetuating its obscurity and qualifying its art.
10/24/03
Sátántangó is structured in a repetitive chronology that apes the rhythmic tally of the tango.
