Features: DVD A large, claustrophobic apartment is the setting for this intense chamber drama from Bela Tarr (Satantango, Werckmeister Harmonies). In this dense setting, the inhabitants of the apartment reveal their darkest secrets, fears, obsessions and hostilities in a style that combines the anguish and existentialism of Bergman with the emotional intensity of Cassavetes. Jytte Jensen of The Museum of Modern Art called Tarr "one of the most innovative and accomplished auteurs in filmmaking today."

 Editor's Note
 Set in a large, yet claustrophobic, apartment belonging to an aging well-to-do woman named Heidi, this Hungarian film's atmosphere draws out the characters' deepest fears and hostilities. As each of the other occupants of the apartment want to win the old lady's favor, they make temporary alliances and then eventually betray each other. Reminiscent of Bergman and Cassavettes.
