"Almanac of Fall"
1984
Directed by Bela Tarr

A large, claustrophobic apartment is the setting for this intense chamber-drama from Bela Tarr, one of Europe's most exciting contemporary filmmakers. In this dense setting, the inhabitants of the apartment reveal their darkest secrets, fears, obsessions and hostilities in a style that combines the anguish and existentialism of Bergman with the emotional intensity of Cassavetes. Hungarian with English subtitles. 119 minutes.
