Recently launched U.S. label Arbelos Films has announced that it is preparing a new 4K restoration of director Bela Tarr's film Satantango (1994), starring Mihály Vig, Putyi Horváth, and László feLugossy. The 4K restoration will be released in U.S. theaters early next year and will then transition to Blu-ray.
Synopsis: Seven-hour black-and-white epic following life in a small, dilapidated post-Communist Hungarian village where nothing ever happens and nobody wants to be there. Adapted from a novel by László Krasznahorkai, the saga is presented through chapters looking at life from the viewpoint of each of the different villagers, all of whom want to leave as soon as they recieve a much-anticipated cash payment they are expecting.
The film won the Caligari Film Prize as well as the Ecumenical Jury Prize Special Mention at the 1994 Berlin International Film Festival.
