Six years before his magnum opus Sátántangó, Hungarian maestro Béla Tarr joined forces with writer László Krasznahorkai for this masterful cosmic burlesque. A noir-inflected tale of betrayal and revenge, Damnation is a perversely powerful plunge into the wretched depths of the human soul.
Marcel Jankovics’s stone-cold classic is an extraordinarily epic fantasy quest about the fight between good and evil. His second feature and his most successful internationally, this animated fantasia was subject to a glittering 4K restoration, and is presented here in all its sinuous, equine glory.
Marcell Jankovics was influenced by the Beatles’ psychedelic musical Yellow Submarine and oh, it shows! Hungary’s first animated feature, this acid-tinged phantasmagoria is both of its time and completely transcends it: a kaleidoscopic epic poem steeped in the language of myth and dreams.
