Satantango

[pporteous at worley.co.nz]

Rich,

I missed it when it screened at a festival here 3 years ago, but heard it was
amazing. There was also one the following year by the cameraman of Satantango,
which I did see and loved, but can't remember the name of. A one-word title -
something like Fear or Misery or Sadness? - you know, an uplifting word. : )
It was long, slow, expressionistic, grainy and utterly compelling (well, I
thought so, several people who walked out didn't!). 12 scenes in 3 hours, or
something like that.  a scene in a bar, a tractor driving down a road, homeless
drunks in the gutter talking, etc. brooding themes of isolation. anyway, I would
definitely go and see Satantango, if the  above appeals.
