jenerikte ismi yazmasa kendi dahil hiç kimse bu filmin bela tarr filmi olduğuna inanmaz. kendi tarzının tam karşısında bir film. konuşan kafalar, sıfır sinematografi, aralara serpiştirilen sözlü müzik sahneleri.. buralardan günümüz bela tarr'ına evrilmesi hakikaten çok ilginç.

Very different from his later work; I was probably a bit thrown off by the unexpected social realism and vérité style.

Early signs of the genius of a masterful film-maker.

Like Almanac of Fall, it's about relationships crumbling under claustrophobic conditions, but this time in more realistic and relatable style. The verité style works well here, giving the film the feel (as the prologue indicates) that even if this exact story didn't happen to these exact people, it might as well have. The excellent acting helps too. Depressing, but riveting.
