This weekend Anthology Film Archives is screening the rarely shown Béla Tarr film Sátántangó. Moving Image is showing Jacques Rivette’s Out 1 — the second screening ever in the USA for this legendary 1971 film.
No sweat, right? Plently of time over the whole weekend to see two films?
Not so. Sátántangó, you see, is seven-and-a-half hours (not counting two intermissions.) Out 1 is well over twelve — shown over two days.
It *had* to be the same weekend? It *had* to?
Hoberman and Maslin on Sátántangó.
Keith Uhlich and Aaron Hillis on Out 1.
