If you loved Werckmeister Harmonies, try Satantango

A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.

What they share

Both films are directed by Béla Tarr, and they both carry the dread, foreign gem, slow burn mood tags, and they sit in Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to Werckmeister Harmonies, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Satantango is

Waiting for Godot, without Godot. A promised payout after the local factory closure inflames the residents of a moribund village. A presumed-dead man returns to lead them to salvation, or fleece them for the authorities. Four hundred souls caught in amber.
