Thanks for the recommendation.
By the way: since I recall you appreciate Bela Tarr, he has very highly praised (and he doesn't go out of his way to do this very often to his fellow directors) the Chinese film by a young man (now deceased, unfortunately): "An Elephant Sitting Still." This film I put under the category of multi-viewing, i.e. it's complexity and synergy cannot be appreciated in one viewing. In one word, it is astonishing.
