Bela Tarr | Agnes Hranitzky | Hungary | Italy | Germany | France | 2000 | 139’ 

In an unknown time in an unnamed village, where, one day, a mysterious circus (complete with an enormous stuffed whale and a shadowy, demagogue-like figure known as the Prince) arrives and appears to awaken a kind of madness in the citizens, that builds inexorably toward violence. Mesmeric parable of societal collapse is an enigma of transcendent visual, philosophical, and mystical resonance.
