I just saw a screening of Satantango today followed by a short Q&A with Bela Tarr. I really liked it.
Has anyone else seen it?
Tarr explained how thecat torturescene was done and thatthe cat wasn't hurt at all.

Meme movie.
>>81415502
What's he like?
>>81415502
I only watched two films of Bela Tarr, Werckmeister Harmonies and Damnation, the first one is one of my favorite movies of all time, I think it's wonderful. I couldn't get into Damnation that much but maybe I'll rewatch it sometime
I never saw Satatango mainly because of that cat torture scene, I'm okay with animal violence as long as it's not a real animal getting hurt but the cat is a real cat not a doll so fuck that
You sat in a theater for 8 hours straight then stuck around after for an Q&A? Holy shit, I don't think I could do that for any movie.
ive had this on my hdd for 3 years and havent managed to watch it

Humble. Very honest and unapologetic in his answers.

He explained that he's a huge animal lover and he's fond of cats in particular (he said he has owned cats his entire life) and that hurting an animal on film would make him a hypocrite regarding the film's themes. The scene was rehearsed for months (at first with a prop cat) so that they knew exactly how to move the cat without hurting it. If you watch the scene closely you can see that the girl never actually rolls over the cat. In the shot when the cat is ostensibly drowned they waited until the cat was asleep and then put its head into an empty bowl.

A little girl smashes the shit out of the cat, puts it in a net, and drowns it in rat poison.
