Bela Tarr Combo Pack (DVD)

The first three films by Hungarian auteur Bela Tarr. Shot in a cinema verite style, Family Nest (1977, 100 mins.) captures the lives of an ordinary family in a broken society. The Outsider (1981, 146 mins.), one of two Tarr films shot in color, offers a naturalistic view of life in modern Budapest. Tarr communicates a world of limited options and few opportunities through vivid close-ups and evocative urban locales. Finally, Prefab People (1982, 80 mins.) is a relentlessly realistic portrait of a young working-class couple suffering the everyday stresses of marriage. Jonathan Rosenbaum (Chicago Reader) called it "the best of Tarr's early forays into Cassavetes-style social realism". In Hungarian with English subtitles.
