Satantango
Sátántangó (Hungarian: [ˈʃaːtaːntɒŋɡoː], also known in English as Satan's Tango) is a 1994 epic drama film directed and co-written by Hungarian filmmaker Béla Tarr. Shot in black-and-white and running for more than seven hours, it is based on the 1985 novel by László Krasznahorkai, whose works Tarr frequently adapted after his 1988 film Damnation. Tarr had hoped to make the film since 1985 but was unable to proceed with production due to the strict political environment in Hungary.
The film was an international co-production between Hungarian, German, and Swiss companies. Sátántangó has received widespread critical acclaim from film critics. In 2012, it appeared in the British Film Institute's Sight & Sound critics' top 50 films.
