Inhabitants of a small village in Hungary deal with the effects of the fall of Communism. The town's source of revenue, a factory, has closed, and the locals, who include a doctor and three couples, await a cash payment offered in the wake of the shuttering. Irimias, a villager thought to be dead, returns and, unbeknownst to the locals, is a police informant. In a scheme, he persuades the villagers to form a commune with him.

A special film, like no other. Not often can something last for so long but captivate you that much.
Watched this movie for the first time in a theater and the second time at home in a laptop. Still amazing!
It’s really long. Also, pretty starkly beautiful in a dark, dreadful way. A must watch if you have 7.5 hours to spare.
Honestly I really don't have words to put how I really feel about this film. It's seven and half hours but somehow my adhd ass watched it.
While this is long, it is segmented beautifully. Incredible compositions and long takes as one would expect from Béla Tarr.
Long and immersive look into a community where nothing can move forward, and even finding meaning in life is a struggle.
A very special film. Cannot be summarized, must be lived through, it's worth it. But take in in pieces and be relaxed.
The use of long takes are brilliant and 12 acts of the movie "tango" around the story. Though it's too long and can get boring sometimes.
7 hours of watching a tiny village populace being manipulated, shepherded like cattle while the cows get to roam free. That’s cinema, baby!
Hypnotic and immersive. Takes forever to unfold, but once it does, you’re completely hooked.
