"Family Nest"
1977
Directed by Bela Tarr
This impressive first film by Hungarian auteur Bela
Tarr heralded the arrival of one of late 20th century cinema's most
compelling and original voices. Shot in a cinema verite style, the film
captures the lives of an ordinary family in a broken society. The housing
shortage in Communist-ruled Hungary forces a young couple to live with the
husband's parents in a cramped, one-room apartment. The proximity of too
many people in too small a space leads to tireless arguments and a feeling
of unending hopelessness. Hungarian with English subtitles.
100 minutes. |
