Satantango Ratings & Reviews
Austin Chronicle
Spencer Parsons
You not only make it through but actually enjoy nearly eight hours of rainy, black-and-white bleakness about the failure of a communal farm, and you've earned significant envy in some quarters.
Boulder Weekly
Michael J. Casey
Stunning and intoxicating. You can't look away, and director Béla Tarr won't let you.
KDHX (St. Louis)
Diane Carson
Sátántangó presents an astonishing, microscopic look at the raw human condition.
Arkansas Democrat-Gazette
Piers Marchant
Each section has its own feel and perspective - some of them are more lighthearted, others are desolate beyond measure -- but all expertly shot in low-contrast black and white, which renders the people and landscape in various tones of drudgery gray.
WBUR’s Arts & Culture
Sean Burns
The cinephile's Mount Everest. Between the temporal dislocation and durational excesses, the film feels like it's rewiring your brain while you're watching it.
Film Inquiry
Alex Lei
It's the kind of film that so few filmmakers have the opportunity to make, and even fewer are given the chance to have them shown and cared for so widely.
Artforum
Jason Anderson
It may sound absurd to say that a seven-hour movie has hardly a wasted moment -- as famously insisted by Susan Sontag -- but Tarr's minimalism has maximum impact, especially when the film's satiric nature becomes more prominent in the final hour.
Antagony & Ecstasy
Tim Brayton
Attention-grabbing from the first moments and unwilling to relinquish its grip for any part of its hypertrophic running time.
Slant Magazine
Dan Jardine
The food is delicious...but the portions are SO LARGE!
Village Voice
Nick Pinkerton
Its seven-hour runtime warns off dabblers, the one-screening-a-day bulk defies profit motive, and its protagonists -- Tarr's "poor, ugly, sad, and damned people" -- deny expectations of pleasure. It is also, at times, funny as hell.
Variety
Derek Elley
The marathon Satan's Tango is a magnum opus to end all magna opera, a dark, funny, apocalyptic allegory of the Hungarian psyche that stimulates, irritates, soothes and startles with blinding strokes of genius in equal turn.
Film Threat
Phil Hall
Those with a strong will for art house extremes will strike gold here, while those demanding speed and snap may doze throughout the endeavor.
Combustible Celluloid
Jeffrey M. Anderson
It is a good movie. It's a great movie, in fact, one of the greatest of all movies.
Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews
Dennis Schwartz
A fascinating seven-hour epic black comedy in entropy (ponderous musings on misery and despair) by the internationally acclaimed Hungarian director Béla Tarr.
Village Voice
Ed Halter
Critics have rightfully hailed Tarr as one of filmdom's criminally undersung geniuses.
Village Voice
J. Hoberman
One of the great, largely unseeable movies of the last dozen years.
Not Coming to a Theater Near You
Rumsey Taylor
It is an insidious yet ambiguous political nature that characterizes Sátántangó as a Hungarian film, in turn perpetuating its obscurity and qualifying its art.
New York Times
Manohla Dargis
At seven hours, Bela Tarr's 1994 Satantango is one of those unusual works of contemporary art that demand from the audience a concentrated commitment -- the luxury of time.
Chicago Reader
Jonathan Rosenbaum
How can I do justice to this grungy seven-hour black comedy (1994), which in many ways impressed me more than any other film of the 90s?
MovieMartyr.com
Jeremy Heilman
Just as the film eschews typical filmic moralizing and simplification, it also casts off the typical language of film.
