#BélaTarr ‘s contemplation on individualism vs collectivism & power stretches beyond its initial take on the breakup of communism parable. In a very unsparing terms, Tarr paints a grim picture of human nature. Told in 12 chapters, the film's narrative often folds onto itself, presenting two different perspectives of the same incidents- not for the different pov, but just to harp on the endlessness of its purgatory. This is satan's tango: two steps forward, two steps back. Repeat. #satantango
