A small backwater village is the setting for this colossal Hungarian saga. Clocking in at seven hours, Bela Tarr’s film details the plight of the village folk as they prepare to leave. Believing that there are monies owed to them, the villagers wait for a payout, but some of their number and conspiring to leave with more than their fair share. Into this chaotic equation comes Irimiás, a man thought to be dead and one that will be instrumental in trying to keep their community together.

This week, British audiences (at least the lucky ones) will have a choice between seeing Olivier Assayas’ fascinating thriller Carlos in the original 334 minute cut prepared for French TV (shown out of competition in Cannes) or the director’s theatrical version, which still weighs in at a substantial 165 minutes.
