"The Outsider"
1981
Directed by Bela Tarr

Bela Tarr's second film (and one of only two shot in color) offers a naturalistic view of life in modern Budapest. The film's self-absorbed and aimless protagonist floats through life with no direction or purpose. His only escape is through music, dancing, and drinking at the local tavern. Tarr communicates a world of limited options and few opportunities through vivid close-ups and evocative urban locales. In Hungarian with English subtitles.  146 minutes.
