...I am not going to rush and add it to my queue - Tarr's films are somewhat of a torture to me. I physically suffer through them. It is something I am not exactly looking to repeat. After the WS I said to myself to give it a break... it is way too bleak and dehumanizing, the pain is too real. The term depressing is over-used, but it fits here like a glove. The hospital destruction scene left me physically ill, and I am not sure when I would want to see it again - on my most happy days, to tame my silly happines just a bit, or on my darkest ones... to make me feel better?
Powerful potion, Tarr's films...

I hope Net gets "Satantango" soon. Seven and a half-hours, 39 shots...
WS was Marx Bros. compared to Damnation. Still, with that - tinear 04:43:06 01/18/07 (0)
title, what could one expect?
As I think on the film, I am beginning more and more to realize it's frightening power.
I don't think Tarr was using the title as an allegory, at all...
