This film chronicles a violinist’s escape from his bleak, banal life through music, dancing, and
drinking at the local pub. Seeing it as both a reaction against contemporary Hungarian cinema and a political commentary, Tarr says, “We weren’t knocking at the door, we just beat it down. We were coming with some fresh, new, true, real things. We just wanted to show the reality—anti-movies.” 1981, 35mm, in Hungarian with English subtitles, 122 minutes.
