Watching Sátántangó, a Hungarian black and white film from 1994. Surprisingly it was recommended by an American anon on another board.
It's a longass movie, 450 mins. Luckily it's divided into 12 chapters, so I can probably watch one per day - it's an adaptation of a novel btw. The movie is so long because the director, Tarr Béla, operates with long stills, long "stills" (there's movement but feels like watching a picture), and long shots of people doing mundane things, like walking on the street. Subtle humour there.
What is it about? I'm not really sure, it seems it plays during the communism, but some mystical stuff going there, and definitely crime.
I dunno yet if I would recommend it, but even if I did, it might not even available to foreign Bernds.
