In Reply to: I have lived through Satantango posted by Victor Khomenko on March 2, 2020 at 11:47:19:
"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!
