Satantango (1994) Reviews

Well it seems like I am in a minority of one in finding this film tedious in the extreme. No I am not a 'Hollywood movie fan' I have many films from all over the world, some amazing, some average and one or two that are poor. This is a very bleak film full of unrelenting rain and selfish, greedy people. Yes some of the shots are interesting but you can overdo the lingering shot and here I think it was used so often I just wanted the thing to end. The third disc was the best but it was not worth all those hours of my life. I'll go back to the Hungary I have experienced, beautiful, full of life and exciting, strangely, everything this film isn't!
