In Reply to: RE: I have lived through Satantango posted by Victor Khomenko on March 02, 2020 at 10:47:19
"Satantango:" I'd argue they are the pinnacle of modern filmmaking.Definitely, they both have an "Old Testament" quality. Rewind to the two speech scenes of the messianic (or demonic?) figure in "Satantango": these represent some of the finest acting I've ever seen. Interestingly, Mihaly Vig, that actor, also wrote the music for many of Tarr's films.
I saw a fairly recent interview with him and he lives a very modest, bohemian life.
To me, one of the great pleasures of watching Bergman, Tarr, and Fassbinder films is seeing the same actors, their troupe, play different roles and observe how they age and mature through their careers. The young girl (Erika Bok) in "Satantango," for instance, was perfect in both "London Story" and "Turin Horse." I also saw a short interview with her and was shocked at her "modern" appearance and speech!

We recently sailed through many Fass's films, enjoying his troupe along the way.
Two nights ago I managed to sweet talk my wife into watching The Man from London, where Erica Bok also plays. This was my second viewing, and I enjoyed every second of it. My wife admitted the director's incredible talent, but kept saying it was not her cup of tea - which is OK, we all have different tastes. The the sheer imagery that Tarr is capable of creating is something one just MUST experience.
So far she flatly refused to watch Satantango, and I am not pushing too hard, as it might turn ugly, considering her preferences. :)
