Have you ever locked yourself in your room and read a long and endless poem?

Every minute is full of rage. Yes, every movement and stagnation in the long lens is immersed in long poetry, and he shoots the ideal collapse, slaughter and deception, cruelty and salvation. There are those who ask us to express their outrage, those who ask us to repent, and even those who ask us to share the untold sorrow of the victims of utopia. Bella Tal was apparently more restrained, and he only asked us to give him some time. Followed his lens through that long and muddy road.

This is not a formalist work, but rather a masterpiece of the last historical materialist film. Material and sensory rotations, stubborn bells, repeated by drunks, cups filled and dried, accordion, tango rhythms

The sound of rain never stops on the Hungarian plain. It doesn't feel like a conscious strengthening in Takovsky or Soklov: shaking us in the spiritual world. The bells in a phantom church are belled by a fool. Long fixed lenses and slow camera movement have not brought us into any spiritual world. They keep us locked in a story well known to Hungarian filmmakers in material reality: the dissolution of a rural cooperative, a scam about a better life, and a bunch of disbelieving officials.

When Bella Tal was asked to explain, he said: "A earlier, I noted the fact that: When the camera was shooting and the whole scene was moving, everyone started breathing with the same rhythm: actors, crew members, photographers, everyone. You're going to go into the movie with all your attention. This is very important because it creates a special tension, a special tremor. It's something you can feel on the screen. You'll be part of it.

"I saw this film again a month ago, and, to be honest, I didn't have to change one shot. If you want to see whether one thing is good or bad, 25 years is enough. There's too many movies gone. They're like toilet paper: you used them and you threw them away, that's how the market works. Time is so cruel that only certain films survive."
